You did the right thing Zed. Glad you at least have answers now.

I agree. Especially since there's a socially conditioned stigma against falling for a false alarm when trying to help. It seems to be seen as a display of hysteria on the helper's part. That's why most people act "too cool" to actually do something - better not risk that precious reputation.

Better a few false positives than a false negative.

This was three years ago: http://kirubakaran.blogspot.com/2005/12/interesting-evening.... I still feel stupid for calling 911 (that I acted like some granny). You are right on about the stigma.

If you didn't do anything, you would have felt far worse. You did the right thing.

Yeah, because Zed now has a name and number of someone's ass to personally kick. I eagerly await a follow-up, YouTube video, and plausible movie deal. :D
