for me it was watching my friend get kicked in the gut at least 12 time, stabbed 3 times, punched an unholy amount of times, and finally being called the one who started it. they were talking about his mom.

A guy got stabbed in the stomach a bunch and his guts were coming out between his bloody fingers. I was babysitting 5 kids (I was 12) and I was holding the 6mo old. The 3 boys (aged 12, 6, and 4) were in a back bedroom playing games and suddenly started yelling so I ran in with the baby and the 9yo girl to see what was going on. Some bloody dude was banging on the window smearing blood everywhere. He wanted me to let him in and I refused. I didn’t have a phone to call 911 but I could hear the ambulance coming. He just kept crying and clawing at the window with one hand while he held his organs in with the other. The 6 of us watched until the ambulance loaded him up and they left. He died on the way to the hospital. I’ve seen some crazy sh*t in my lifetime but that was the first thing I thought of when I read the title.

so sorry for you having to witness that, and at such a young age nonetheless

I saw an old lady get hit badly by a car couple of months after I moved in a big city. When I ran closer to help, I realised the driver was not on the phone with paramedic but with his boss, saying he would be late because he had a minor accident on the road… the lady was seriously injured!

When I worked at a hospital as a certified nurse assistant, I was on duty in the stroke unit. I have a man a drink of a specially made fluid for patients who’ve had strokes and have difficulty drinking. Just after the drink, he died. I didn’t even have time to put the cup down before it started. I was told it was a heart attack (he was on DNR or do not resuscitate). Over 20 years ago and I still wonder if I could have done something different to prevent it (did I let him drink too much to quickly?). I don’t know who he was, but I’ll never forget him.

sadly, you did everything you could as a a nurse, so try not to keep that on your shoulders

Was in line to pull out of a Walmart parking lot when the guy in front of me in a small Volkswagen Jetta pulled out too late and got T-boned by a Subaru coming from the left at 45 miles an hour. The Jetta was driven by a guy who was on his way with some friends to prom and was in shock, and the Subaru guy's airbag deployed and broke his face. Both cars were damaged beyond repair. Nobody died, thank heavens, but there were some injuries. My mom (who used to be a dispatcher for the local police department) was in the car with me and went into full dispatcher mode and went around making sure everyone was okay and finding out that the Jetta driver's mom had in fact gotten into a similar accident in that same exact spot less than a few months ago.

Not mine but my brother’s. He witnessed our cat get torn up and killed by a golden retriever. He loved that cat and he was only, like, four.
