I can't imagine what you went through when you heard her "side" of the story, Lenn. Or your parents. You've mentioned it before but it still hit me like a ton of bricks.
One of my brother's almost died after passing out after some heavy drinking with a friend; he started coughing while passed out and the guy he was partying with called 911. At the time my brother was underage, and the guy he was hanging with was like 24 so there were potential legal issues, despite the cops treating it like no big deal (college town). My mom has said she could have easily ruined the guys life by pressing charges, but she decided not to out of thanks for him calling 911; he could have easily panicked and let my brother die, but he did the right thing.
I still mean mugged the fuck out of the guy when I saw him a few months later tho
