All you can do when in that situation is evaluate things as best you can, do what you can to help the person, and hope for the best. Hindsight is always 20/20. Would we do anything differently under the circumstances?....ABSOLUTELY NOT! And we hope that should we ever be the one sitting on a park bench our fellow villagers wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing!

Please do keep in mind that emergency services will not, and in some states, can not share patient information unless you are related or have a legal responsibility for an individual.
I am certain your efforts were/are appreciated by many here. Thank you.
