You are an emergency worker that has just been called to the scene of an accident. When you arrive you see that the car belongs to your husband. Fearing the worst you rush over to see he is trapped in his car with another woman.
He sees you and although barely conscious, he manages to mouth the words “I’m sorry”…
You don’t understand, but his look answers your question. The woman next to him is his lover with whom he’s been having an affair.
You reel back in shock, devastated by what his eyes have just told you. As you step back, the wreck in front of you comes into focus. You see your husband is seriously hurt and he needs attention right away. Even if he gets attention there’s a very high chance he’ll die.
You look at the seat next to him and see his lover. She’s bleeding heavily from a wound to the neck and you need to stem the flow of blood immediately. It will only take about 5 minutes to stop, but it will mean your husband will definitely die.
If you tend to your husband however, the woman will bleed to death despite the fact it could have been avoided.
Who would you choose to work on?
