"So once you've gone ahead and taken care of the situations that are immediately pressing, like getting some pressure on the wound, making sure there is no severe bleeding, making sure the person is breathing, making sure their vital signs are good, the next thing you've to do is, you've got to get emergency personnel there and one of the easiest ways to do that, if there is another party there, is to go ahead and grab someone and say 'Hey, Brian, go call 911.' 'I don't have service.' 'Go find service.' So immediately then you know emergency personnel is on the way and that you've got help coming. So at that point you really got to make sure that your victim is not going into shock and that you go ahead look for any other injuries that they might have sustained during the process. 'So what I need you to do is I need you to go down here and go ahead and go help him. I need you to go and get some help, you got a cell phone?' 'Yeah.' 'OK, good deal, good deal, alright, get some help, and come on Brian, let's go.' As long as you go ahead and get emergency personnel on the way and in route, usually, a lot of times the victim ends up pretty safe. "
