A Close Call!

A crazy thing happened to me this morning while I was driving to work. All of a sudden a car from the opposite lane came driving towards me on my lane. This is a high way where people drive 90-100 km per hour. My reflexes were quick and I stepped on the brakes as the driver of the other car goes off the highway down a steep hill. I stopped my car and ran outside after him, another man had reached his car and was pulling him out. This guy was passed out and having an epileptic seusure and there was blood pouring out of his left ear. We called an ambulance and checked the guy out to make sure he was alright, eventually he gained consciousness and had no idea what was going on. What pissed me off though was the fact that the other guy who was helping him out just assumed he was on drugs. I've taken care of epileptic patients before and he was having an attack which makes people pass out and lose all touch with reality. This man shouldn't be driving though and they're not strict enough here in Iceland about banning people who get seusures from driving their cars. Another thing that shocked me is the fact that only 2 of us got out and helped this man out, everyone else just drove on by. Humans can really be sickening sometimes.

After this experience I'm kind of numb and afraid to drive, it was a close call and I don't want to think about what could have happened if this man would have crashed into my car. I drive on this highway everyday to work and have kind of become immune to all the accidents that happen regurarly but this woke me up a little. Alot of people have died on this highway it's kind of looked at as a deathtrap. Maybe I should move closer to my work place, it would also save me 90 minutes each day of not having to drive?

Anyway, I came home tonight and held my son tightly and thanked god for this day and everyday I share with my loved ones.
