@Miram The saved lives/delayed death question is a good one. I think I look at it as more of a case of reducing anguish. The mate I stopped from walking onto a railway line - we were only 14 at the time. He had parents, a brother and sister and grandparents too. How devastated would they have been if I hadn't grabbed his t shirt? He's gone on to have a wife and 2 kids, so there's more happiness all round there.
Plus there are the circumstances of death. We all lose people and one day his family will have to lose him. But I think it would be easier for his wife and grown children to accept him passing from old age than his parents dealing with their 14 year old son being splattered across a railway line

Have been a blood donor for years so through that I will have done. Also when we were about 14 stopped a mate from crossing a railway track. We couldn't here the train coming but I could here the metal tracks vibrating and knew one was on its way. I grabbed him by the back of his T-shirt and pulled him back. He turned round to yell at me as a train shot by. Never forgot the look on his face.
In my 20's I also talked a crying girl with mental health problems and voices in her head telling her to stab people into giving me the knife she had and comforted her until the police arrived, funnily enough on a train. I also more recently looked after a young lad threatening to throw himself off a bridge and talked him into walking off the bridge with me and calling his family to take him home.

I did CPR chest compressions (I couldn’t bring myself to put my mouth on his), on the side of an interstate highway right after a multi vehicle wreck. I kept him breathing until ambulances arrived on scene, I don’t know if he survived or not, my wish to remain anonymous was respected .
