I Was Just Going for a Facial!!

Had my facial at White Sands today..

I was done about five and went to the ladies to pee.

So there I was, makeup-less and all blotchy faced from my sqeezed blackheads (could I have possibly looked any worse??)

I was just leaving when a 50 something lady called out to me, it was then i noticed she was bleeding profusely from the nose. It got progressively worse within the minute and she wanted to go see a doc.

I told her I would bring her 2 floors up to the clinic. She was contantly bleeding and choking on her blood I started to panic.

I mean, Im liked first aid trained. But wat the fuck is supposed to be my first course of action? SHITSHITSHIT!!!

I rushed her to the docs, screeched at the nurses that I had a lady with a really bad case of nose bleed. She kept choking so bad I had to bring her back to the ladies. Others came to help and someone managed to get the doc over.

The Doc said it was bad and that it was off to the hospital for her. She was so panicky I felt so sorry for her. I asked if she had any personal belongings and she told me it was under her counter at her work place. So I went down to the shop to get her handbag.

I know that someone had already informed her supervisor so when I approached him, I told him about his staff and that I was here to take her handbag as she had to go to the hospital. He gave me a "LOOK", and practically rolled his eyes, as if to say, "how troublesome." Did he even ask how she was? NO. He didn't even bother to go take a look to see how she was!! I snatched the bag from him, gave him my best "uppercrust English accent", glared at him and said, "Im sure that is fine with you?" He nodded and i stormed off.

I honestly dont know how effective that was since I looked like I kena langar by lorry.

Damn.

So I rushed back up and within minutes the ambulance came. I asked if she wanted me to stay with her and she said, "yes please." So I stayed with her... the paramedics all tot it was so strange that an absolute stranger would be staying with her... But I din care.. As long as she wanted me around, I would stay.

So I held her hand as they wheeled her into the hospital, and I waited while the doctor treated her.

I went in to see her and she hugged me and cried so hard. Im glad I stayed for her.

I left when they told me that her daughter was on her way and they had to wheel her into observation.

Somehow I felt that people all thought I was strange and absolutely K.P.O. for staying with the lady. But I felt that all I was doing was what I would want anyone to do for my mum, should she ever need help.

I was shaking when I got home.

And I was just supposed to just have a very normal, relaxing facial.
