Sorry, to clarify, I meant I get that the bystander effect happens. Like you, I personally couldn't imagine letting myself become part of it and think of those that get stuck in bystander effects to be pretty sh**ty people.

How do people seriously allow themselves to watch someone in medical distress for an extended period of time? I get how the bystander effect could make people stand around for a period of seconds while everyone panics and people look around to see if someone else is going to jump in.

But once you get into minutes, **** that, you don't get to call it being part of the bystander effect anymore, you're just a crappy person, unwilling to help someone in distress.
