Have you ever seen someone faint in front of you?

[laraWM]

Did you manage to do anything before it happened or even after? It is really worrying and stressful

Yes

No

[mommymommymommy]

No not in front of me but i have an old boss, who was a bit on the heavy side, and one day it was really hot, and the building has no a. c.. He wasn't drinking enough water, and he passed out from heat exhaustion. I was out, on a delivery, and I had gotten back to him being carted off to the hospital. The place closed soon after, and was condemned (rebuilt as something else)

[laraWM]

I hope it was not too bad for him in the end

[mommymommymommy]

He was ok

[Bricealan]

Had a loss of consciousness and death occur right in front of me at a basketball game I was playing in. I could do nothing, as he was dead when he hit the floor.

[laraWM]

It's so sad. I can't help thinking about it

[Bricealan]

We (players and ref tried chest compression etc and we could not revive him) He was only 33, and had just had a new baby.

[Apple1996]

Nah never seen anyone faint but I did faint in public a few months ago when i was pregnant.

A old man that was like 80 years old caught me before I hit the floor. Super thankful for him doing that cause it could have ended badly for me or the baby if he didn't.

[laraWM]

Yes good he was here

[Cynicaldreamer]

Surprisingly? No. Weird considering I've worked in the healthcare field for over 10 years- I had to think about it for a minute because it's hard to believe I haven't had seen that happen.

Guess I'm either really lucky, or never around when it happens.

I had a female friend and we were sitting at her house watching tv. We were talking about stuff and suddenly she gets this funny look on her face, Then she leaned forward and if I did not get up and catch her she would have fallen on her face.

[laraWM]

It's good that you were quick, was she ok?

[exitseven]

She had fainted. Later she told me she was having a very heavy period. We used to be able to talk about all sorts of stuff

[laraWM]

Yes I can understand

[BoopBoopBeep]

Several times. Heat exhaustion a few of them. Vasal response to trauma (actual trauma like something sticking out of them, not "daddy didn't love me trauma") a few times. Low blood sugar once or twice. Couple of times i caught them on the way down. Not really worrying... most of the time it's easily fixable.

[DryGermanGuy]

Saw it happening and managed to faint myself on two occasions (nerve injury and low blood pressure).

[laraWM]

I'm sorry, it looks bad

[Meropatrick]

Yes an epliptic woman had a sizure on the Street and she passed out. I couldnt do anything. There was a nurse on the scene who helped her. It was very stressful and i didn't know what to do

[laraWM]

Yes exactly, good the nurse was able to help

[Lynx122]

Yes on a school trip there was this girl in our class who was starving herself and she fainted but I didn't have to do anything because teachers were taking care of things. I think that was the only time.

[CubaPirate]

MAN DOWN!!!

[strateguy632]

yes.
