One Good Deed Deserves....What?

Heartwarming story! Or is it bone-chilling? I'm sorry the woman became a paraplegic, but that doesn't justify her attempts to make her co-worker's life a living hell! The only way she could justify this is by proving that she had repeatedly asked her colleague not to pull her out so roughly as she was being rescued! If she had told the good samaritan at the time of the accident that she'd rather wait for experienced emergency workers to arrive & help her, then she can claim that her colleague caused her permanent damage by ignoring her pleas. However, if she was screaming like a baby as she was being helped & expressing relief at the assistance she was receiving, she has no bloody business taking it out on her co-worker now! I'm even more amazed that the legal authorities have decided that she has a right to sue the person who rushed to her assistance!
Already we have adults refraining from extending a helping hand to small children, fearful of some nasty crime that they might be accused of! This, of course, is thanks to all the bogus legal cases of child abuse resulting from society's bizarre paranoia! Now, thanks to rulings like this, human beings will simply stop helping fellow humans under dire straits....and who can blame them?
