Reply To: What would you do?

Meno -“There is actually a very strong correlation. They are both emergency situations which will result in death if appropriate immediate action is not taken. Now you explain why they are different. (Actually you don’t have to, because ubiquitin already did an excellent job explaining it)”

I did explain it! Maybe you didn’t see it?!?

Anyways, here it is again:

“I asked what you would do if you were in that situation that was shown in the video. It wasn’t a hypothetical question perse.

Her case with the pilot is purely hypothetical!

I hope you Now understand the difference!”

“There’s just one more thing I want to point out. There’s a difference between KNOWING the proper steps to take in an emergency situation and being ABLE to take the proper steps. Being a trained EMT means more than just knowing the steps, it means being able to stay calm and think with a clear head. It’s just not easy for the average person to do that, and I don’t think someone should be criticized for immediately calling Hatzalah rather than trying to remember all those steps in an emergency situation.”

Who says EMT’s or any medical professionals think with clear heads?

It’s not something that can be taught! B’H, most do.

The same thing with laymen in any emergency situation!

The trick that people do – to stay calm – First, take CPR & first aid.

Next – practice it a lot. You can buy your own manikin for cheap!
