SOS


Bishop Cosgrove did not fail to amaze me once again today. I went through my typical routine in the morning, telling everyone good morning and then returned to the cafeteria to eat breakfast with the other volunteers. Today’s breakfast was exceptionally good because it was sausages and hash browns. As we were eating and talking as usual, there was a loud thud that hit the grown. We all turned our heads to the right of us and I couldn’t help but notice the man on the ground coughing up tremendous amounts of saliva. He was on his back and he was having a seizure! He fell so hard that he came out of one of his shoes. I have never seen a seizure once in my life but I manage to keep my cool because one of the officers named officer Lawson came and saved the day until the EMS trucks came to escort the gentleman out of here. The craziest part about it was that when this happened, other people in the cafeteria acknowledged it but they continued about their day as if this was normal! First it was the lady going into labor and now this, I guess a lot of these people have bigger problems to worry about.

  1. Wow Miles, I can't imagine what I would do in that situation. Thats crazy! Do you know if this is a normal thing or is the man is ok? This and a lady going into labour, it seems there is never a dull moment while you are on your project. I also think its really interesting and crazy that all the people around you reacted like it was just a normal thing for this to be happening during breakfast. I guess at a certain point nothing really phases people after a certain point. I'm really excited to hear about all the other things you did while working at Bishop Cosgrove. I'm not familiar with the place but from your posts, especially this one, it seems like you are doing a lot.
