Shock and surprise help.

Hi. I Just like to share this.

I never came across this kind of surprising and shock help which I had made and has definitely been needed.

lets start the true story. I used to travel to my work place by two changes (yes its a long journey! ), some times i may stuck with traffic and other travel disturbances.

same thing on the other day (28.09.10), I got the bus from my work place to alperton station to return home, normally 10mins but took 25 mins bcz of bloody traffic, it was raining too, then entered in to the Alperton train station, I was unlucky minor delays on train but its definitely major delays (20 mins for each service), I waited for it.

I was almost near the first compartment bcz it is very convenient for me to get off at south Harrow exit. Bcz of minor delay ? the train was packed. and people were on hurry to exit and enter the train, I normally wait until people exits before entering, I was waiting, one girl wanted to exit the train but suddenly fell down bcz of giddiness and became unconscious, I did see her from the beginning, she is almost on my feet and her hands are in between the train and platform. the bad thing was most of the people were busy on entering and exiting the train.

I suppose to catch that train after long wait, but one another guy helped that girl along with me to pull her by holding her hands near from her sholders, she was so heavy but lean, thank god we managed to pull her out of the major trouble such as stucking of the hands in between the doors as they are automatic close by the driver just after a minute.

but I recognised it is not at all possible to carry her like the same way i explained bcz her head was hanging she was nealing down, I understood that it is better to carry her totally, at the same time my mind was telling to catch the train, simply said to the lady behind me " CAN U HOLD HER , I NEED TO CATCH THE TRAIN "(damm, why did i say that, i was mad at that time, its ok common man brain), my spinal reflex worked, that lady was not ready to help, then said again to the lady its ok i will carry on, then CARRIED that girl on both of my hands and walking on the platform, IT WAS RAINING TOO, USUAL LONDON WEATHER, the another person was holding her head preventing from hang. ALMOST 60 PEOPLE WATCHING AND WALKING BEHIND ME, then entered in to the waiting room, and left her on the seat on sleeping position. OMG SUDDENLY SHE HAD A BREATHING TROUBLE, every one were shouting but do not know what to do, My reflex worked really well, taken water bottle from my bag, my hands were going for first aid to beat on her chest, but realised again she is coming to the normal position, left that and calmed every one " SHE IS OK NOW ".

One old lady came down and gave her a cuddle by keeping that girl on her lap, then I asked one another lady to call 999 (ambulance), yes done, MOST OF THE LADIES ASKED ME " IS SHE WITH YOU?" I said, NO, people asked me to go and receive ambulance from outside of the station, I dont know why they asked me to go, but ran out side of the station, waited for 15 mins, no sign of ambulance, understood bcz of bloody traffic.

Ok lets go and see her again on upstairs, yes she is comfortable on seat but her hands were on cheeks, conscious now, oh dear " MAKE UP GONE " !
one lady said to that girl, " HE IS THE MAN WHO CARRIED YOU ", she thanked me, again common man brain said go home, yes noticed time, 8.00pm, said, GOOD BYE, TAKE CARE, station superviser was with phone roaming here and there to chase up the ambulance, at the same time station supervisor also did not forget to thank me.

I thanked myself for presence of mind, reached home at 9.00pm (suppose to reach by 7.00pm), no cooking bought something from restaurent.

After few days, I had a chat about this incident, with my friend, I asked my friend, why most of the people were not ready to help ?, got an answer, " If you could have not helped her properly, and it it may have pushed her in a serious condition ( even though it is natural), legally you will be in big trouble, that is, this case will be considered as neglgence (because of your negligence and improper handling), "

Yes, that is true, but I did my best to her.

thank you for reading and dont forget to leave comments.
