when you make a mistake

Sometimes in relationships mistakes are made. That is a basic fact of life. There is no manual on the best way to raise a child, the absolute "right" decision for a lot of things...where, when or what to eat, which car to purchase, who should sweep the cobwebs off the porch, etc. These are things people must come up with their own solutions on. And sometimes it is harder to decide what the right thing to do is.

Take the case of April Moylan. When her husband complained of a headache, she did the best thing she could think of...she took him to the hospital. That was prudent. When the nurse said to the patient, "It appears you have been shot" April fled.

Seems April did the shooting. Not on purpose...she apparently does not know how to manipulate a gun or something because she did, in fact, accidentally shoot her husband.


This seems like a good time to review the case.
Husband is sleeping. Wife accidentally shoots him. Mulls her options which are:

1) Call the paramedics
2) Take him to the hospital yourself
3) Wipe up the blood with a few towels and hope he doesn't notice he has been shot in the head.

Now all of these SEEM reasonable (except the third option) so I can certainly (not) understand why she would (un)wisely choose to just ignore it...
