Poorly Gentlemen.

[imnotadragon]

Curious to know how aibu I'm being was at the bus stop the other day and a gentleman was swaying around I assumed drunk asked if ok and he replied he was fine. Looking for headphones in my bag and turned around heard a sickening awful crunch sound and he's fallen backwards head first and literally caved his head in . I phoned an ambulance and sat with him until it came luckily it was school time, and a doctor walked past and helped out and made the situation a lot better the gentlemen, then regained conscious and started talking however he said he has no next of kin and no family so I wanted to contact the hospital, and visit him maybe or jus to find out if he's ok? Except my family and husband is telling me to leave him alone and let him get on with it. I just feel absolutely awful for him and to witness it and I haven't stopped thinking about him he was around 60 and all I know is he said his name was Les ??

Im afraid the hospital wont tell you anything.

You sound nice but...

No good deed goes unpunished. Don't get involved. You did your bit.

You did a good thing op. The hospital won’t release personal details though

That's what I thought as data protection just feel so bloody shit that I don't know if he even survived it. Never ever seen anything like it in my life I take comfort from the fact he was talking before I left him but bloody hell did look nasty

You’re probably in little in shock yourself, OP

Good on you op - I understand you want to know the outcome. I attempted to help someone recently but they unfortunately died. My dh didn't really understand why I felt the need to travel 100 miles for the funeral but I really needed the closure. It's worth a try at the hospital

Can you go with your husband to visit him in hospital, that is what I would do.

Thanks everyone, I don't think he would come and I genuinely don't think the hospital will tell me anything I guess the only thing I can do is just keep praying he will be ok. I think I am sill in shock tbh it was just so random I suffer with anxiety anyway and it just was an awful awful injury, i think it may of been an heart attack that caused him to fall I have no idea but surely if his eyes was open and he was talking must be a good sign?

I mean this as nicely as possible OP, but it's not your burden to carry. You did everything you could, more than some people would, and he was/is in very capable hands. If you see someone professionally about your anxiety I would talk through this with them, if not it might be worth trying to find a private therapist for a one off session if you can afford it if you dont start feeling better about this in a week or so. Your reaction is totally understandable, but hopefully things will settle down with a little time and distance.
