& no one helped you? did you check your pockets to make sure you had everything?

I woulda helped you

I bet it was New York. Only those miserable hateful denizens who inhabit that cesspool would be so caught up in their own self importance and apathy to not even have compassion for their fellow man.

i fail to see how OP deserves to have that happen. Hope you are feeling better

I feel your pain OP! I had something similar happen to me on a bus a couple of weeks ago. I hit the seat in front of me and got whiplash, a concussion and a black eye. When I came to, everyone was just staring at me like I was some sort of freak!

It's called the bystander effect, the more people are around you when you need help (passing out for example), the less chance you have that you are helped. You should google it.

At first I thought the FML said that 25 other people had passed out at the sight of OP passed out! But FYL OP, that's the problem with the world today.

Unfortunately that's a very common problem. People don't want to act when someone needs help - either because they are scared of not knowing what to and feel someone else might be more qualified, because it's easier not to act, or simply because nobody else is doing anything, making it collectively justifiable. I took first aid classes, and the instructor showed us a video of an actor pretending to collapse with a heart attack in different fairly crowded public places, and the video then counted how many people walked by before someone stopped to help, and how long time passed before someone started checking his vital signs and calling for an ambulance. It was quite a few people and a lot of time. Enough that if he had been in cardiac arrest, he would've survived with substantial brain damage at best, but probably died. Also, in Denmark, it's actually mandatory by law to help to the best of your capabilities in an emergency where someone needs help. It's very hard to enforce that law, because it's difficult to define what someone's capabilities were in a given situation, as everyone reacts differently in a crisis. Fortunately, I've never witnessed a major emergency, but I like to think I'd be able to respond appropriately and not just ignore it, or worse - stand around staring.

Well there goes my faith in humanity.. Maybe your in an area where a lot if people get or are drunk and their just use to people falling down.. Still no excuse though. I hope they wouldn't leave a person having a seizure that way.
