People Go Down

Not once but twice last week I saw people get injured on my way through the city. On Thursday I was walking to work when a middle-aged woman dropped like a sack of spuds, hit her head on the pavement and blacked out. She was bleeding slightly from a cut on her head and was unresponsive. As a security guard called for help on his radio, I put a paper towel to her head and tried to wake her up. She came to but was still unresponsive. She sat up by herself and when I asked again if she was ok she looked at me and asked me why. I told her that she passed out and hit her head on the pavement. She asked me 3 times where she was. Totally out of it. By then a cop and an EMT arrived. I explained what happened then was on my merry way again. Yesterday, as I was driving up 57th street, a motorbike in front of me was hit when a car did a Uturn in the middle of the road. The front of the car hits the bike which was doing 25 miles an hour. The biker, wearing a helmet, does a helicopter spin in the air and lands on the ground. The front car bumper and the bike were a wreck. I stopped my car, got out and immediately called 911 to get help. When I got the the injured biker he was being helped by a couple of people. He seemed dazed but was able to sit up. He might have had a fracture in his wrist but otherwise seem fine. As the cops showed up I knew there was not much more I could do. The dude might need a tiny cast and would have quite the headache to deal with but other than that, he was ok. My job was done. I got back in my car and left. I'm like Superman who has no powers and can't fly.
