Recently, in the news, there was an elderly woman who suffered a medical emergency at a facility/home. A nurse was present and called emergency response. During this time, the Emergency response person talking to nurse told the nurse to start CPR. Guess what, the nurse didn't do it. Citing company policy, the nurse refused to help. It came to the point that the emergency person was begging to have the nurse tell someone off the street to come in and start CPR. The elderly woman died. I was flabbergasted by the news..... the company stands by the nurse that this is policy, henceforth the nurse was right.
With all our modern medicine and life saving/prolonging techniques, it all comes down to money. No one stands for what is right. If I can save a life or help it, DO IT. Oh wait, who cares about that, you know, caring for our fellow man..... it comes down to the bottom line, money, lawsuits, etc. Not all the things we do to help someone comes with a medal or award.
There is no reason needed to help another, nor is there a reason to not help in this case. Remember one thing..... we lose our selves when we worry for ourselves above others.

May the hearts of our lives be changed. Protection on her and her whole family. My family also. Mercy on our unmerciful selfish selves. Peace, Love, happiness..... blessings....
