I am a bit shaken as I was a bit frozen when the yelling started and the banging around and the crying but I got spurred on when the screaming started. I feel a bit gutless at not seeing how badly injured she was. I figured the ambulance would assess that.

You did the right thing.
Yeah, there are other unis but getting a permanent job (which is what I have now) is very difficult. The hiring process for a senior lecturer is about a year, and I would not get a senior lectureship even if I did apply, I am not good enough. Besides, a job at another university would mean a multi-stage commute which I want to avoid if at all possible. Stockholm has several universities and is within reach, geographically, but the commute there is terrible.
Sorry. I am whining. I have no right to be upset at the notion of losing my income (though my job is my identity, not just a source of income).
