my dad fell and got hurt - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ranant12 · 10-16-2009, 06:12 AM

Oh my Lord!

I cannot believe that. I come from a small town in MS, where people will do anything to help someone. A fall like that would have had 2 or more people helping him up and 5 to 10 people on cell phones calling an ambulance. (Seriously, my husband is a sheriff's deputy and my best friend is a 911 dispatcher, so I know an accident gets tons of calls for help.)

People may be really ignorant and backwards around here sometimes, but they believe that what goes around comes around.

Thank God I don't live in a big city!!

Very sad. I hope your dad is okay. If it was my dad I would definately get a hold of someone and give that pharmacy negative publicity! It is horrible. I have had elderly people fall, once while and work and twice outside of where I worked. At first nobody did anythig. At the time I had no clue what to do! But I did what I could and then twice a paramedic was walking by thankgoodness. But all the other people just stared!

it's very sad. People almost seem like they don't want to be bothered.

dad is very very sore today.. no broken ribs thank god. just in alot of pain,
more so today.. geez, i was so pissed off yesterday on the phone with that girl that the whole office heard me. my boss thought i was talking to my
b/f lol... she told me to tone it down. I think if i would of went to that
drug store, there would of been blood shed and i would of been in jail. kidding.
im really all talk no action, lol thats why i was able to scream and yell over the phone. I think if my dad was really bad , i would of been down there, but
he is ok, alive, ya know what i mean? so those people arent worth it..
they will have there day..

that is just awful! I hope he feels better soon!

alisonJ · 10-16-2009, 08:54 PM

Gina! I am so sorry I am just seeing this post about your father! What a terrible thing. What the he* * is wrong with people??? I would have been as angry as you are.
How is he doing now??

LuvMySissy · 10-17-2009, 08:02 AM

Gina - I am so sorry to hear about your father. I just can't believe that the human race has become so cold hearted they cannot reach out to help another. God help them if they are every in need. And shame on that pharmacy as well!!!!

Hoping your dad starts to feel better very soon!!!!

Connie · 10-18-2009, 02:56 PM

I'm so sorry your Dad fell! I cannot believe no one would help him. My gosh...how can one person not want to reach out to someone that is hurt! The drugstore and pharmacy was a complete joke! This is just outrageous. You should write an editorial to the newspaper and also call the manager of that drugstore. It's ridiculous that anyone should have to be taught how to have a heart, but obviously, this place needs to give a class on human kindness. I hope your Dad is much better by now!

Lexi Rae · 10-19-2009, 07:09 AM

now its time to sue these suckers.

Glad your dad's on the mend Gina. That was awful what he went through.
I can't believe a pharmacy gave him no help! That really blows my mind.
I would boycott that store and pass the word. I also would walk in there
and talk to the pharmacist who was there that day. Tell him who you
are and what the hell was he thinking not coming to the aid of an
elderly man who fell and needed medical assistance. Keep your cool and
make him feel like the low life he seems to be.
Hugs to you dad,

Lexi Rae · 10-19-2009, 08:43 AM

well my sil called there after i did and asked for the mgr. as he got on the phone the first thing he said was , i dont want any cursing lol.. so she said to him, all i want is an explanation of what happend.. he proceeded to tell her that they did nothing wrong.. how can you argue with morons,, all i know is
what goes around comes around.. thats ok.. their day will come.. all of them.

dianaww · 10-19-2009, 08:46 AM

That is just awful not to know WHAT NUMBER TO CALL even I know to call 911 and I live in the UK and it is 999 here, but I know your emergency number, so WHY DIDN'T THEY ?

I really hope your dad gets better soon.

Lexi Rae · 10-19-2009, 08:57 AM

at that time, they were asking my father what the phone number was,
and he was thinking about it,, can u imagine that? unreal..
he was thinking about the real number when i would of just called 911 of
course.. mind you guys,, the police station is directly across the street from where this happened..

gunnar08 · 10-19-2009, 10:03 AM

Unfortunately, you hear of this happening more and more. People have become less sensitive or caring toward other human beings (& animals too).
Less manners too.

Very glad to hear you dad is feeling better.
