I think that not thinking it through earlier was my honest mistake. I either wanted to believe he was alright, or that I wasn't in a position to judge when someone was having a heart attack. It wasn't until I reflected on past heart attacks and realized the symptoms were the same and decided that it'd be better to take full blame for waiting but still get him medical attention. And although I would want to say "next time I won't call an ambulance" to him, it's really not true and I'd stick to what I had said earlier, "I would have gone through this all over again". I don't know how the law works where I am, as I am currently in Japan. He is THE highest position at our satellite Japanese language school. There is no one to go over his head to report about this incident.
