One time I was in K-mart with my mum. I didn't want to be there because the K-mart where I live is ghetto. Honestly, I don't even know how the place stays in business because like no one is ever there. However, my mom had to get something, so probably because I was bored I went along. I wandered around with her for a little bit, but I went to the cosmetics section of the store. A woman in jean shorts and low cut tank top that sagged passed by and then collapsed onto the hard floor of the K-mart. People came out of nowhere and crowded around the woman who was now writhing on the floor. A dumpy man who worked there bent down and in an alarmed voice kept asking if she was ok. The painfully thin woman snapped that clearly she wasn't, but she didn't do anything. My mom looked alarmed as the store manager called an ambulance. I stared for a while but continued to look at the aisle. The seizure lasted a surprisingly long time.




I know his makes me sound like a terrible person, and maybe I am, but honestly what could I do? I had no knowledge of medicine and I think I was maybe thirteen. When the woman came to, she was fine. My friends are still slightly horrified that I didn't do anything in this situation but continue to shop but I really hate it when people who have no medical knowledge busy body about. I'm not saying I wouldn't do anything if people weren't helping her. I'm just useless in these situations because I have no medical knowledge or any knowledge about seizures.
