“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

He's NOT Kidding. I Got Deported from Japan in 1977...
On the way off the plane, I stepped over a fellow passenger who had collapsed in the Jetway. I attempted CPR, but my bandaged hand was of little use... he died there after throwing up in my face more than once.
It was what it was. No one else stopped to help. I was the only "good Samaritan" and I was a pretty bad/ useless one. I should have stepped over him likea all the others and kept on going. Then perhaps someone with real medical training would have felt guilty enough to stop and actually save his life.

ReplyDeleteI ended up on a PanAm 747 out of Narita, and landed at SFO.
