That kind of stuff breaks my heart. I saw something like that once in Japan and I just couldn't believe what was happening. People explained it to me, why they ignore the suffering. But the next time I tried to help I looked like an idiot because I couldn't explain what was happening in Japanese. The third time it happened I was like f*** all of you and I just did it anyway. Some lady fell down on the train tracks and everyone else stood there while she was trying to get back up. I just reached down and grabbed her under her arms, she only weighed like 90 lbs so it was like throwing a hay bale.
The first time was some guy stepped off of the Keihin-Tohoku line train at Yokohama station in Japan. He had 6 plastic bags tied in a chain hanging off his right side, with some other random s*** tied there, and his right arm tied back. He was like a lopsided gypsy wagon with tattered clothing. Obviously homeless. His right pants leg was slit all the way up to the crotch. His leg was gangreen, swollen, and leaking puss at various areas. His flesh had covered over the shoe he was wearing. You could even see the discolored veins, an obvious sign of a blood infection. From my very limited medical knowledge I could tell this guy had about maybe 3 days to live unless he got medical attention now. But they just don't give a s*** here. I can't comprehend it, but when I asked, they said it was because he chose that. He chose to be homeless and not participate in public healthcare and there are things available for him.
I think he was mentally ill and got injured and doesn't realize he's about to die.
Another time, in a different Asian country, I came across a boy with a gangrene cut on his jaw. Lock jaw was already overtaking his jaw muscles and he could barely talk. I knew that he had a very short time left because probably the next day he would no longer be able to eat. In this country it would only cost $1 to go to the hospital, but he said his family didn't even have $1. I had doctors with me, who had antibiotics, but they weren't allowed to administer these because of political reasons. The world is a f***ed up place.
