Granted, I'm a nurse - so I suppose it's natural - but I think it'd be natural ANYWAY! Not a SINGLE bank employee came over to help at all - the entire time. I sat w/ her by myself until the ambulance came. I was livid.
It really should be a natural reaction to anyone and it is so sad that it isn't. She was really lucky you were there! A million years ago when my husband and I were dating, I was a waitress. My husband's exgirlfriend was an RN who pretty much hated me. She was brought to my restaurant by a date not knowing I worked there. While they were eating an elderly lady sitting a few tables away fell out of her chair onto the floor. My husband's ex-girlfriend didn't even pause in her chewing. It was amazing! I ran over to the lady and yelled to call 911 while this horrid woman who was a nurse ate her chicken! Okay, admittedly, the woman turned out to just be really drunk but still... we only knew that after the EMTs examined her.

I haven't seen the video or read the article because I'm a little scared to.
