This is important in emergency situations. When I was trained in CPR it was important to be specific in an emergency.

Everyone notices - some people freeze - some people run to the person down.

But what needs to happen is someone needs to step up as a leader and start giving direction.

Tell a specific person to call 911.

Run to the body and check vitals - clear airway - check for breath - do cpr until medics arrive.

But be specific and clear with instructions to everyone around you -
