Dear Sharla,

I'm really glad to hear you'd already called your pdoc!

What a terrible incident to go through. You did a good job trying to help the guy in so many ways. If he was walking to get a train he must have been breathing so i suppose the emergency was over by then. He will most likely be ok.

A suggestion: Your workplace probably has procedural guidelines for medical emergencies/illness/injury, that cover company policy, legal and financial liabilities.

Probably your manager and most certainly the HR manager should be able to provide guidance on how to handle these situations. Sometimes there are even little reference booklets.

Managing other people is a stressful job, themoreso when these incidents happen. Please take a several deep breaths, and pat yourself on the back for trying to respect the guy's wishes while taking care of him at the same time.

I hope life gets easier on you and you don't have so many triggering events.

(((((((hugs)))))))
