Health – “What does a pilot losing his ability to fly have to do with this topic? There is absolutely no correlation!”
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)
ubiquitin,
Thank you for the response. You make excellent, clear points, and I’m pretty much convinced now.
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.
