Yes there are!
Twice on long train journeys recently someone has been taken ill and when the call goes out for assistance, off duty paramedics, nurses, doctors and first aiders all rush to help. Even yesterday on the Edinburgh to London train a young lady left her two kids with her partner and rushed to help a lady that had fainted when the call went out.
My daughter, now a junior Doctor, has done the same, helping two young women who had heart attacks. Both whilst still at uni, one in a park (on drugs) and was ably and gratefully assisted by to young squaddies and another on a train (what is it with trains) where she and two nurses kept pumping away until the patient could be transferred to an ambulance at the next station.
On another occasion a a crowd had gathered to help a suicidal young man off the edge of a cliff where she was running.
I am sure we all have similar stories and it does give us faith in humanity.
