epiphiny43 -> RE: Grandma Calls Wrong Number for Help, Car Salesman Shows Up Anyway (8/8/2016 8:40:20 PM)

Grandma was lucky she didn't have any time sensitive injury. Our hero is lucky he didn't cause a death and face charges for reckless behavior. I doubt he is a trained EMS worker, or that he had Any useful equipment or training when he showed up. Ambulances have it all, and a trained Team to handle emergencies.
He should have immediately called the local version of 911, and connected her call to them if at all possible. Once sure she was in contact with the real rescue people, and effectively in communication, Then he was free from his real obligations, to travel to Grandma in case he could get there first and maybe make a difference.
NO mention of arrival of trained first responders, the FAMILY showed up some time later? She easily could have died while he watched, shock is often deadly. Feet above head, is part of initial response, along with oxygen, and blood if there appears to have been substantial loss. Lying her down was good, cover is nice. Not even close to enough. Confirming effective respiration, blood pressure, pulse and body temp are Necessary. And have to be countered immediately if wanting. From the report, he probably didn't save a life, or his partial care wouldn't have been enough.
Airway, breath, pulse, blood pressure. Don't leave home without them.
