=( One of my coworkers was hit by a car in our parking lot. On purpose. A client was pissed off at her and hit her. He drove off. I know who he is, so it's a matter of pulling up the chart to get his name. I saw it happen. I called 911. At the time I was numb and focused. It was like "This isn't happening." It was like I was in a very scary dream, but luckily I had it in me to run to her to see if she was okay and then call 911 from my phone.

I went with her to the hospital. I stayed by her bedside in the ER. I was still in that daze, but managed to keep it together for her.

=( She screamed as the doctors stitched the lacerations on her face. I had to leave the room so I wouldn't lose it. I felt SO bad for her and it felt like I was feeling her pain, too.

Everyone was amazed that no bones were broken!

I stayed with her until they moved her up to the room where she will be staying.

She's going to be okay, but probably very traumatized.

I missed an entire shift of work, but my supervisors didn't yell at me for it and said that I was very brave and helpful.

When I finally got home, I LOST it. I sobbed. I freaked out. I had a big fat panic attack. I was in hysterics. I could barely even vocalize what had happened. My fiance thought that something had happened to me. It took at least a half hour to calm down enough to tell him what happened.

This scared me so badly. =( I am a survivor of attempted murder myself. Seeing one in front of my face really triggered stuff.

it is good you helped her!.
i know that was scary, and you were really brave for doing that

now you're calm, you should take time for yourself to recover from it

(((((hugs)))

also you must have a very understanding boss.

it's great you didn't get yelled at

Calico, i believe you were there to help her and get her through this. What a beautiful gift you gave a co worker to help save them and to comfort them. Now you take care of you... I am proud of you (((hugs)))

I would have done exactly the same thing. I'm proud of you for caring for your coworker so well. Peace be with you!

She should be so thankful to you. I am sorry that happened and that you had to witness ido. I'm sorry for both of you, but thank gosh you were there and you handled that as well as you possibly could. Great job. Here's to wishing her a fast recovery, and then finding this person quick.
