I faint at the sight of blood, should I stay and try to help, or do I just call 911 and wait for help? I couldn't live with myself if I just sat there while someone bled to death, but I'm physically unable to help. I saw a little fender bender today and it made me wonder.

I don't know where you are but in Tennessee, you must "render aid to the best of your ability." Stay at the scene, call 911, and do as much as you can. If that is nothing but talking with the victim. You may be surprised how much impact another human voice has on a injured person.

Calling for help would be your best bet. If you faint at the sight of blood what will you be able to do to help them. In fact you could just make things worse. Call 911 and let the professionals do their jobs. Calling 911 would be your way of helping. Otherwise see if you could muster up the strength to help if help didn't arrive quickly. It is a tough decision to make and only one that you can make when it actually happens. You never know what you are capable of doing until something of that magnitude happens. I hope this helps. Take care and have a good Thanksgiving.

Call 911 and give them your info, etc. But don't just ignore it if possible especially if it's more than a fender bender. Pull over and call an ambulence or wait for the police to come.

Call 911 and stay until the police gets there so that you can let them know what you saw. The operator will ask you a bunch of questions, answer them as best as possible and/or find someone who can answer.

Call 911 and wait for help to arrive.
If you try to help and don't know what you're doing, you may just cause more injuries / damage to the person.

I think you should try. If you faint, you faint. But you could end up saving a life. At the very least, stay and keep traffic away from the victims, so the scene doesn't get worse.

Notify your coverage organization of your concerns approximately this incident - they do take a dim view of coverage fraud. comparable element occurred to me a pair of years in the past and jointly as the coverage did pay out they decreased the fee down significantly. This woman is attempting to make a declare for Whiplash and coverage do recognize that problems from whiplash takes extra effective than 24 hrs to come back on. regrettably for you this might flow against your coverage in view which you do no longer seem to have any witnesses to back up your fringe of the story. ethical is : shop a digicam on your vehicle in any respect circumstances and a cellular telephone on you so as which you will call police.

The textbook answer is to get professional help before anything else. (911). Identify yourself and describe the situation as good as possible.

Pull yourself together enough to call 911 and do whatever you can, but don't leave.
