Hi
I popped down to the pharmacy today to collect some antibiotics from out of hours gp and outside a man was lying on the pavement.
He was extremely drunk and passed out. He had in the process wet himself too.
I rang for an ambulance and they said they would be there as soon as possible. I gave them my name.
While i was waiting he was breathing and mumbling to himself so i dont think he was seriously ill. (I wouldnt have left a seriously ill person)
His drunk girlfriend and a friend also walked up to him at one point and when i said ive called an ambulance she laughed and walked off. She came back a minute later stepped over him and went into the pharmacy/ shop behind him.
I have cellulitis at the moment in both legs so i couldnt stand for long and i had been stood there for 20 minutes but i was having a hard time standing so i had to leave. His girlfriend was hanging around but not necessarily near him.
Am i going to get into trouble for leaving him there? I dont know what else i could do. I couldnt give him any medical attention on the count i can barely stand. This was in the centre of town outside a pharmcy so he should have been ok right?
