Kindness And Quick Thinking

You know what they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and just last week Morag Burbidge found that timeless saying to be true.

A dear friend of Morag’s had an unfortunate fall which left her both unconscious and with terrible injuries earlier last week, and thanks to the quick thinking of a couple of vigilant locals, Morag’s friend had the help she needed within minutes.

“A young lady waved down a young man and asked for him to sit with my friend while she ran across the road to the hospital to raise the ambos,” shared Morag.

“I don’t know who she is as by the time my friend came too, there were a number of people caring for her.”

Both the woman and gentleman who wish to remain anonymous held Morag’s friend’s hand, keeping her calm and comfortable until emergency services were on the scene.

“Two nurses then came to assist, rang her emergency contact, and waited for the ambulance – all the while the young man stayed with my friend, and held her hand to reassure her.”

Morage took to social media to thank the kind strangers in a post which has since attracted over 300 interactions from both touched and concerned members of the local community.

“People should never be too busy to help someone in need – there are good, beautiful people in the Burdekin,” commented hopeful locals.
