Good question actually. The thing is I WAS actually thinking about calling 999 but as I said I didn't. Among other things also because of the fact that I thought "Well, if even the hospital's ambulances pass him like that what is the point in calling exactly THEM" I was also assuming that he might have been to that hospital before, was thrown out of it or something like that. I was near enough to tell he was drunk and to be honest I actually thought "he'll be fine" and left. In general I think people should care and sometimes it makes me sad to see that society's ignorance regarding homeless people on the streets etc. Going through London you don't even look at them and in the winter they die without anyone noticing it. It is their choice one says and most of the time they are just "dirty drunks" but apart from that knowledge and general attitude looking at our society it just makes me think we are loosing ourselves by forgetting those people. Whatever, doesn't matter. It was all about the fact that I got confused by seeing those ambulances driving past that man. @"Tom": Do you actually stop when you see people lying on the floor (no matter if they are drunk or just having a heartattack) although you are not on duty or not called? Well I suppose you do (right?) but is there any policy saying that you have to or something like that? Because I have often seen police cars stopping for something they just noticed but never ambulances
