A strange 50ish man has fallen and wants you to help him get up. He’s quite tall and you’re not sure you could help. Should you:
- Help him and risk covid.
- Call someone for him.
- Let the 2 men approaching help him

I have a bad back. If there’s someone else nearby who’s more able bodied then I’d let them do it.
But I’d stick around to make sure someone did help.
That’s what I did after offering to call someone for him.
Same here. Bad back, hip, and knee. I couldn’t help much.
I offered to call someone. Someone did help him.
I would try to help him myself. If it turned out that I couldn’t, I would call 911.
I also have a bad back. I would call for help because a woman shouldn’t be straining to pick up a man by herself anyway.
I have lifted many a man in my years of nursing. I’m not shy of that at all. Especially if we are approximately the same size.
He was quite a bit taller. I wanted to just call someone. He was helped.
I’d stick around and make sure he was helped.
I was walking in front of my board & care home a few years ago and some guy had fallen down, half on the sidewalk and half in the bushes. It occurs to me now he might have been drunk or on drugs. But there were a few people just standing there laughing and talking and ignoring him and I just caught his eye and I reached out my hand and he grabbed it and I pulled him to his feet. He thanked me and walked off. I just wondered why no one else helped him.
The Good Samaritan.
I was watching him. He was trying to stand and some men were approaching. He was gone a few minutes later.
