    Unlikely that someone holding a defibrillator next to someone passed out on the ground is going to be perceived poorly.

      Unfortunately in a panic scenario like that, sometimes people don’t see things as clearly as they might normally.

      And people aren’t great on a normal day either.

        Fortunately they are cheap and easy to use correctly (and nearly impossible to use wrong), as such they are all over. If you are in a public place I’d be surprised if you didn’t have ready access to a defibrillator in the US, though you may not realize where it is.

      You would think so, right? But the reality is that men are always assumed to have the worst intentions. Especially in hindsight. i.e. “he didn’t need to do that right? he must be trying to cop a feel”.

      Same reason men aren’t usually kindergarten teachers, because they’re immediately assumed to be pedos.
