i discovered something new of a classmate today. in a shocking way, no worse.
riiight at the beginning of the day too. what a way to start school, hahh. ok enough.
DISCOVERY:
he's got a low sugar level.
WHAT MADE HIS CONDITION WORSE:
feeling unwell the day before + not having had breakfast in the morning.
CONSEQUENCE:
he fainted.
what really happened makes me feel SUPERR GUILTY, let me tell you.
this poor classmate of mine fell backwards all of a sudden during morning assembly. & guess who was the one to be standing right behind him? me!
& what did i do?? i just let him fall smack on his back! in fact, i literally gave way to him!
(& so did somone else i think?)
OHHHH MYYY GOOOODDD..!! HOW MUCH DUMBER COULD I GET!??
i feel so sick, i must emphasize!
i seriously would expect myself to have atleast held him & lessen the impact of falling backwards! like WTF.
but the thing is, i was totally taken aback. i had only the view of his back so i couldn't read his face. i had no idea what he was tryna do, what was going on. i guess i wasn't alert enough, in addition i was glancing around elsewhere, i thought he was just tryna rush backwards for some reason unknown at the point in time. for goodness sake, it did nOt occur to me that he was actually fainting!
so ok. after that teachers came over & dealt with him. he didn't go completely unconscious though.
but before anyone could stop him, he got right back on his feet as though nothing happened!
what stunt was he tryna pull?? you'll see in awhile that it was a dumb thing for him to do.
he was urged to eat a piece of chocolate, something sugary, to help. but we knew he wasn't fully recovered. & we were right!
after a while, he fainted again, but this time, he went out cold instead of gaining back consciousness. mr chelvam got him to spit out whatever he had in his mouth before he blacked out completely.
luckily this time he was alredy leaning on another classmate hence that mate could like keep him upright then slowly let him down.
shall i just skip to the part where i'm REALLY PISSED at myself? yehh ok!
so thing is. 2nd time he went out cold right. see i allllready so wonderfully let him fall smack on his back the 1st time. what makes it worse is the fact that i didn't help out DESPITE MY RED CROSS BACKGROUND!!! grr!
(damn!) i noticed the teachers attempting to put him in a recovery position.
but it turned out so wrong!
>> in the first place, they did nOt even tilt his head backwards before turning him to his left side! i mean, he was already out cold! he could've easily choked on his tongue!
>> AND THEN they did not even straighten his left arm up over his head before turning him to his left side. thus he was lying on his left arm!
>> AND THEN they just left both his legs stretched out (while on his side!) when they really should have bent his right leg 90degrees!
whaaaaat kind of "recovery" position is thAt man??
well at LEAST they dID remove his specs and his watch.
at LEAST they dID make sure he had the back of his right hand to rest his face on.
now y'all 'r wondering wwhhhyyyy the HELL did i not offer my help!?? why the HELL did i not speak up or something??
dearest readers, i only thought about allll this, afffftter the situation was over.
at that point of time, all that i did was, ponder ponder ponder, wonder this wonder that, but i wasn't perfectly sure of myself, i wasn't confident enough to step forward & offer help.
it was the dumbest i could ever be in that situation.
i was basically TOO DAMN FRICKING SLOW in reacting appropriately.
eventually somebody came with a stretcher & he was carried to the sick bay. & i don't know what happened after that.
i'm so not proud of myself. i feel so shitty to the max, i have no idea what else to say.
i offer my most sincere apologies to the person referred to.
mate, dude, i hope my foolish actions, or lack thereof, did not cause any major repercussion.
i still have yet to hear any news on him. i hope he is fine. i hope he is fine. i hope he is fine.
that is all i have to say. *sniffles* *wipe tear*
8:59 pm and hani went off; embarrassed .
