It's regarding a mass casualty event, if you came across strangers who say had had a bus crash and a dozen or so people were injured, would you stop and help ?
My points/thoughts are
1: using your first aid kit is just that its using your supplies, things you may need but once their gone you may not be able to restock for a long time
2: could you leave someone to die ?

And what if it was family ? How far would you go knowing it may have serious consequences to your own survival ? Eg 86 year old aunty Ethal falls and breaks her hip, now she can't walk, if your on the move it would take two people to carry a stretcher, then there would be food to keep her going for little repayment (everyone has a job post shtf in my view be it washing hunting cooking etc)
Now I'm not advocating aunty ethal gets a shovel to the head
But it is something to think about and consider

Now? Yeah, I'd stop and help. I have many many medical kits, so not worried about dishing them out.
PSHTF? Probably won't come across a bus accident TBH! If I'm alone trying to get home then no, I'm avoiding that like the plague, more important places to be. If I'm with my family, then we're definitely getting out of there as soon as possible (without being seen)

If it is dear old aunty ethel then I would expect her to realise what a burden she is being and to demand we leave her behind for the good of the group
Unless she's nice and meaty then we'll drag her fat arse along.
