As bad as it seems, it is not fair to lay the blame on just the people standing there.
If noone will help you when you get the person up, and if you are at risk of being sued or taken to court because you are not the doctor or nurse on call for that shift, there is not only no encouragement for doing this, but outright discouragement of stepping out of your role.
I would not be surprised if people have gotten chastised in the past for being, what some there would consider, a PITA for paying "too much" attension to them.
I do not agree with this, but I have seen it in so many professions where trynig to do the right thing eind up leaving you with a pile of grief from your co-workers and POSSIBLY trouble from your patients/clients.
Sad but true. In many environments, not committing to something is safer than trying and failing.
