Thank you for the comments and advice, it is much appreciated :)

A little background - I work as an auxiliary nurse / healthcare support worker in a hospital in the UK. I've worked in this job for about 7 months now. I attempted nurse training in 2013/14 but due to personal circumstances had to discontinue. Anyway, my story/question is this... I was down the corridor with a patient in a different bay when I heard the arrest bell go... We (me and colleagues) ran to the patient, who was on the bed, spread eagled, eyes wide open, vomit everywhere, there were two nurses attending to him and they shouted to put the call out for the crash team. One of my colleagues ran and got the crash trolley and the doctors who were on the ward already they began trying to save this man's life... I will never forget the look on that man's face. I keep going over it in my head. My question is, as a bystander, someone in the background, not actively participating, what could I do to help in this kind of situation? Having being trained in CPR I would have known what to do if I was needed, but I would like to try and be as helpful as possible. Thank you in advance for reading, any comments would be appreciated :)

On a night shift a couple of months ago, I was looking out of the window into the car park of the hospital, and I saw a man stood there, in the middle of the car park, in WW2 army uniform. Was pretty spooky.
