Chop off the foot and cauterize the wound. I assume they have the proper medical supplies to stave off infection(alcohols, gauze, bandaging, etc) being a medic. We wait it out. If they show signs, or if they turn...answer is obvious.

But considering just how fast blood moves through the body(takes seconds), and the panic and adrenaline involved, I think it's gonna end badly unless you react INSTANTLY.

Say goodbyes. Carotid sleeper hold until there is no pulse.

Thats how I would want to go out in a zombie apocalypse, its better than trying to survive with a chopped off foot.

Even with a toe, the blood circulation is fast. You have about 15 seconds or so to react.

It depends on the infection, though.

Regardless, my plan remains the same. Unless said person wants me to off them immediately, which I'd do for their own benefit then cry about it like a bitch.

damn, that's pretty honest.

I too would cry like a bitch. I wouldn't take their thoughts into consideration though; I'd off them and stick them in a ditch asap. I'd like to make it quick and surprising so they never suffer.

I assumed we were on a roof ala Dead Rising waiting for the chopper, so my only option is to lock them in the way out, or toss them off the building.

I'd always take their thoughts into consideration, I know they'd do the same for me. Even if it hurts more in the end, I'm gonna respect their wishes. It is their final request, after all. I'd be brutally honest, and maybe spend the time reminiscing. Being honest. Etc.

Honestly? Probably try to secretly call off the chopper evac and remain with them to the bitter end pretending Idk why help isnt arriving. Once they turn do my best to off them without getting infected myself and try again to reach out for help. Id probably explain the plan to the rescue team if I had time. It would be betrayal to my best friend all the same but maybe theyd atleast die not knowing of the betrayal. If I die too so be it.

My best friend though would likely kill themself or beg me to do it. Hed know he was fucked and probably ask me to watch over his daughter.
