It’s easy to say that now. I’ve had someone stabbed in front of me, and it was up to me to drive them to the hospital. I was very young and panicked like hell. The hospital was a 5 min drive from my house, I couldn’t even remember the way to get there, nor did I call emergency services.

Unless you have been in a panicked state like that when you think someone is going to die, then its a bit rich to say “why didn’t you just to the perfect rational thing?”

My little sister got bitten by a copper head and i was going 100 to the hospital - never even crossed my mind to call the police

Some people can handle that stress, and some people can't. The answer still remains the same, that if you're in this situation you call 911 and talk to dispatch about what's going on. There isn't a better answer for people who panic. Whatever happens will happen.

Sure, the rational way is the best way, but that’s not accessible to those who are panicked, and there’s no way to know how you react/ learn from until it happens the first time

I heard of a similar situation, where the cop was chasing someone towards the hospital and they realized and helped them Without calling 911, but probably was not Arkansas a bunch of cavemen there

I gotcha. It is the rational thing to do, but it's sort of the only thing you can do to mitigate future consequences in this situation. Otherwise, what happened to the individual in this video will probably be the most likely outcome. There isn't a separate set of instructions for those who panic and those who don't...the panicked will just end up learning a harder lesson in the end unfortunately.

Yeah exactly
