Once while traveling on a bus, one of the passengers lost consciousness, the bus driver called ambulance, but the emergency service needed someone to accompany the passenger who was traveling alone. I and a collogue of mine decided to break journey and help with the patient admission to the hospital and connect with the relatives. It meant us getting off the bus and accompanying the patient to hospital. The hospital staff was very supportive, and we left once the patient caregivers came to the hospital. We never met the woman again, it just felt as the right thing to do at that point.
