and no one would friggin help him. he was walkin in town going to the
lawyers office to get some papers signed and tripped over a wire hanging out to the side walk from a restaurant.. some guy was passing and dad said i just fell can u help me, and the guy couldnt give a s**t . so he managed to get
up and go into the store near by, a pharmacy and asked the girl to call the
cops and the girl told him to walk in the back and ask the pharmacist. so he went back there, hurt as he was and told him to call the cops and he waited
like 4 min and the pharmacist stilldidnt do it.. so the girl gave the phone to
my dad.. they told him they didnt know the number omg!!! a$$ hole.. 911.
so ps... dad called himself and ambulance came and took him to the hospital.
broken ribs.... when iheard this just about an ahour ago, i called the drugstore, the girl answered, isaid was there an old guy in that just fell and
asked u to call the cops? she said yes. i said so why the f--k didnt you call for him you a$$hole. i was sooo pissed off. she said who is this, i said , none
of your business really loud.. and hung up... dads home now.. very very sore. poor guy couldnt even talk... some people are such morons.

OMG Gina what the hell! A pharmasist too. There not morons their
ignorant, rude selfish idiots! I can't believe someone did not help
an elderly person when in need. I am so ashamed of what our
society has become. Makes me sick.
Hope he has a speedy recovery.

This makes me sick....

I will never forget when I was a child a woman in NYC was stabbed to death in front of a hugh crowd and no one did a thing to stop it...she died.

I truly believe this is one of the reasons I got involved with rescue...I got very angry with everyone saying they feel bad but they didn't do anything..or they can't bother to look at awful pictures..they would rather not know how animals are suffering everyday. Sorry I got on my soapbox.

celstu1 · 10-15-2009, 12:23 PM

Oh my gosh! Some people just forget how to be humans I swear!

I'm glad to hear your father is ok, but ouch, he is going to be sore for awhile! I would call the store back and tell them that he was hurt and had broken ribs.. make them feel bad. I cannot some people!

MeganS · 10-15-2009, 12:24 PM

OMG Gina that's horrendous!! I don't understand people who can walk away when they see stuff like that.

They've got it coming...that's for sure!!! I'm so sorry and prayers for your dad for a speedy recovery!

jmdt · 10-15-2009, 12:28 PM

I can't believe this happened. Please don't go to that pharmacy...I will see you on News 12. I am stunned that no one would help him. Poor thing he must have been so freightened and in so much pain. Glad to hear he is home now safe and sound. As for those uncaring individuals. They will get theirs someday. Believe it!!!

Micah my love · 10-15-2009, 12:31 PM

Hoping your dad gets to feeling better soon but it will take a while for his ribs to heal and is very painful, some people make me sick no care for anyone

Patti · 10-15-2009, 12:34 PM

That is terrible. What is wrong with people! I hope your Dad feels better soon and I would send a letter to the corporate office of that drugstore, there is no reason you r Dad shouldn't have been helped immediately.

BonBon · 10-15-2009, 12:42 PM

I just don't understand people. What complete jerks. No - they're worse than jerks.

I'm glad your dad is home now, and I pray he has a quick recovery.

LDandPasquale · 10-15-2009, 12:44 PM

I'm so sorry your dad had to go thru such an awful ordeal. People are so inhumane nowadays , its ridiculous.

One time my husband and I were driving thru town and i looked over towards the sidewalk and saw an old man fall...i made my husband stop the car and we got out . He was bleeding terribly from his head. Thank god i keep gloves and medical supplies in the back of my car. I stayed with him til the ambulance arrived. The sad thing is....noone else cared enough to stop to see if everything was alright.

I hope your dad has a speedy recovery. I'd be upset if i were you too!

Darlene68 · 10-15-2009, 01:05 PM

That is terrible!! I live in a small town and people go out of their way to help others out, I can't imagine a situation like your father endured, I hope he will be alright, it is very sad that people are so uncaring

lil fu fu girl · 10-15-2009, 01:41 PM

Oh my gosh, how totally incredible!
If I were you I would do more then just yell at that girl. Go to your local news, they always have those "On your Side " reporters, and tell them the story and point out the drugstore where it happened on the news. The only way to hurt businesses like that is to hit them in the pocket!!!

Hope your dad is feeling better soon. Poor guy..........

Armani Alexis · 10-15-2009, 01:46 PM

Blessings, speedy recovery and peace to your dad!

Hope your dad has a speedy recovery! So sorry about his fall.

It sounds like the restaurant is at fault here....

Britster · 10-15-2009, 04:11 PM

That is TERRIBLE!!!!

I remember when I was in high school, there was a girl in a wheelchair and her chair was stuck in the doorway, she couldn't get in. I kid you not, maybe 50 people walked by her and did NOTHING. By the time I reached the door, I finally asked "Do you need help?" and gave her a simple push through the door. Bull****!!!

I hope your dad feels better.
