[–] jimbo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (3 children) Unlikely that someone holding a defibrillator next to someone passed out on the ground is going to be perceived poorly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago Unfortunately in a panic scenario like that, sometimes people don’t see things as clearly as they might normally. And people aren’t great on a normal day either. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not everyone is going to have access to a defibrillator. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bluGill@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago Fortunately they are cheap and easy to use correctly (and nearly impossible to use wrong), as such they are all over. If you are in a public place I'd be surprised if you didn't have ready access to a defibrillator in the US, though you may not realize where it is. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cringe2793@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* You would think so, right? But the reality is that men are always assumed to have the worst intentions. Especially in hindsight. i.e. "he didn't need to do that right? he must be trying to cop a feel". Same reason men aren't usually kindergarten teachers, because they're immediately assumed to be pedos. permalink fedilink source parent
