Small triumph

I work in an office like environment and was getting ready to go on lunch, so I walked into the kitchen where the storage lockers are to grab my purse and I heard someone coughing but I ignored it. My locker is right across from the sink so I started walking over there and suddenly this guy I've never seen was yelled "don't look in the sink! I just threw up in it!" and I just said ok and turned around and tried to get into my locker. I was trying to do the combination right but he went over to clean it up and started coughing and hacking into the sink again RIGHT BEHIND ME so I was shaking a little and kept having to do the combo over again which made it take even longer.but I kept thinking "it's ok stay calm" and finally I got my locker open but instead of grabbing my purse and running I just stood there and calmly turned around and said "hey...would you like some nausea medicine?" and he kept saying yes please that would be great so I gave him some and just stood right there next to him while he coughed and was sick, then I told him to feel better, and went and ate my lunch without even thinking about it! I wasn't even worried about catching whatever he had. That is the first time in my life that I have ever been able to be near someone sick and I felt so good about not only tolerating it, but giving the guy medicine to make him feel better. Sorry that was so long just wanted to share it
