My brother did faint. Before he fainted I asked him are you ok? And he started replying incoherent words, that’s when I knew something was wrong. I was quick enough to go hold him as he was dropping towards the floor like a dead weight.

Also you have to understand I had no clue if the guy was fainting or dying on the spot

Ps: feel free to downvote cause this comment isn’t bringing any value, though it brings value to me as I’m venting off my heroic act..

You did great catching him. Always try to catch someone falling.

A friend became briefly unconscious once and fell while another friend didn't react fast enough to hold him. The result of hitting asphalt hard was bleeding in the brain the size of a fist and 5 days in hospital care with hearing troubles for weeks.

Edit: spelling.

don't try to catch, try to cushion the fall. trying to catch can lead to both of you being injured. esp when there is a large size differential

From now on, your brother should tell the doctor/nurse this whenever receiving a vaccination or other injection. They will ask him to lie down, and wait 15 minutes (regardless of this new rule).
