Anyhow the orders we were given is, unless they're not breathing or unless they're not breathing you don't let them get any slack at all.
Really? You were told not to seek medical help until someone was at the point where they weren't breathing? So if someone is bleeding out, having seizures, has a broken limb, etc, you just let them lie there? That hardly seems like the humane thing to do.
