and off course there is a difference in Red Cross junior camp first aid, Paramedic first aid and combat first aid 😀According to their trained skills, you may have a better chance of:
- surviving their actions
- surviving the incident
- quality of life afterward.
In some cases, it is better to call for a paramedic.
You got that right 🙂 Know when to ask for help and know your own limitations. No matter the situation. You could be on a fire scene and a captain or chief says "Get that ladder up there!" and you've never operated that departments ladder truck... Much better to ask for help than be embarassed and try and figure it out on the fly.
You could be trying to figure out a hardware problem and see that something in the SAN "feels wrong" but you aren't trained there, only know casual information about the SAN, etc. Rather than just try and change it blindly, escalate... Get help.
