I know from personal experience that when you think someone is dead, or HAVE THOUGHT IT during the incident it has a negative impact on your ability to do your job moving forward. I didn’t realize in the moment how much of an impact it had on me when I (mistakenly) thought kids in a car we hit were dead. Even though it turned out ok, the rollercoaster had taken its toll. It wasn’t until I got back to normal after a couple of days that I realized how dazed I was by the incident.
Think about this. If Hamlin had never got up in the first place, would the game have continued? At that point we all would have thought initially “he’s knocked out”, then learned he needed to be resuscitated. Did the shock of seeing him get up and then fall have a great impact? Of course it did…
I get the sentiment, but if your co-worker did this, you would not get to take time off work (your own PTO excluded).
If I’m at work (I work in Dialysis) if a coworker had to be taken to the hospital and possibly died, I would still have to continue to work.
Now did and CAN stop, to which I 100% agree with, but to act as if it’s unfathomable for people to keep working after a trauma at work is disingenuous because MANY employers would tell their employees to get work after it.
