Many medical emergencies require quick action from a trained bystander to save a person’s life.
Workplace accidents can quickly lead to shock if immediate steps aren’t taken to control severe bleeding. A severe allergic reaction can become deadly within minutes without treatment. You may be camping or hiking in an area where professional medical services aren’t available or take a long time to arrive. Someone in your home may experience heat related illness.
While there are plenty of resources on the Internet to give you instructions and opinions, there might be times when Internet access is limited (during a weather disaster).
