“Outside, we have to try to make use of what’s available and get the help of other people,” he added. “The paramedics said: ‘I didn’t know you were going to work, we would have given you a ride’,” he said. “It would seem like I was trying to get gratitude from somebody, and I felt it was not really in my nature to do so... If I was at work, I wouldn’t go to a patient and say: ‘Hey, I saw you in the A&E and helped you’,” he added. “I feel that with such a skill set or training in the medical profession, this is what someone should do if they ever encounter such a situation.”
