What would you do if you saw a health emergency on Muni?
Rider Karoline sent in this photo of a woman who she thought was feeling ill. The woman eventually started moving and got off the bus at the driver’s urging.
This picture reminded me of the man who was found dead on Muni a few weeks back. Some commenters suggested that they might have seen him slumped over on the bus without knowing that he was ill. What should you do if you saw a health emergency on Muni?

I’ve witnessed several medical emergencies and I always try to help. I sure hope someone would do the same for me!

I agree that I would hope someone would try to help me, but I have to admit that sometimes I hesitate because I’m scared to do the wrong thing or maybe the person isn’t having a health emergency…

We have good samaritan laws in California so there shouldnt be any legal repercussions and I got no problem calling an ambulance or asking the driver to call one. Im with you Kath, sure hope someone’d look out for me!
