So it's hardly surprising then when people see someone collapsed in the street, or an epileptic choking or something that they just walk on by and leave them to their fate.

We had someone come round to our church once to show us how to resuscitate a person with all that thumping on the chest and doing mouth to mouth but I suppose that's a no-no now in case you break a rib or something.

I don't think the 'have a go heroes' do what they do just so they can be hailed as heroes. I think it's a natural instinct to try to help. Must be very difficult to curb that instinct and not help someone.

That could explain why a doctor in another thread on here refused to go and help someone who wasn't his patient.

It may be the correct legal thing to do but it doesn't really sound like the correct moral thing to do. What a sad state of affairs we are in.
