This is unbelievable. During the recent bombings in Saudi Arabia, the women referred to below reportedly saved at least 7 people. This is a quote from a man on the street:
"What was she thinking? It's not her role to save others. She exposed herself and those with her to grave danger," he said. "She had no right to risk the lives of others. What if she had been involved in another accident on her way to the hospital? She should have waited for professional help. If we approve her action and applaud it, then we are encouraging other Sabas out there. I agree with the Arabic saying 'Close the door through which the wind blows and relax.' "

I hope no public officials are saying that. Its one thing to prohibit witnesses from chasing hit and run drivers through traffic (not so intuitive til it goes bad) or from chasing drive-byers through traffic (I wish I could tell this story). But its another entirely to tell people not to pick up mass casualties and bring them to a hospital, especially if the distribution of ambulances in Rihahd or whatever is in the ballpark of what I think it is -- spread thinly all over (i.e., she may have been 15 minutes faster than an ambulance).
From whatever article you are quoting, do you get the sense they are pissed because its a woman? Or do people in the article really think that only paramedics should pick up the wounded and rush them to a hospital, even in a mass-casualty event?
Very sad.
