Gugny Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Who's working harder? The ones running into glass walls? Or the dispatchers asking - "is he breathing?" after they've already gotten a "yes" response to their previous question, "is he conscious/awake?"

unbillievable Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 It is possible to be awake, and not breathing. It's called choking. Form over Function... Perfectly describes Apple products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you don't need that job anymore, but you can't do much being on a ventilator. FWIW... I knew a guy who sued his girlfriend's parents... He tripped at their house. Right out of a Seinfeld episode, before there were Seinfeld episodes. Good way to break off a relationship.

HA! No drugs or alcohol, but at one of my son’s birthday parties I was crouching in the laser tag set, turned and ran as fast as I could......directly into a plywood wall painted black. I did not see the black wall, but I did see stars as I fell to a lump in the corner. Word apparently got out, as all the kids seemed to have a blast racking up their point totals over my dazed and confused body. Still laughing about it almost two decades later, but it was NOT funny at the time. (To ME anyway, I can’t speak for those horrible little children!) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 At my last job, we had a large glass wall/glass door as our office entrance (shared building). A Fed Ex guy walked into it on his way out. No blood; no broken glass. But one HELL of a boom. I came running out of my office and one of the supervisors was there, laughing his ass off saying, "you were just like a bird hitting a window!" I was dying. The Fed Ex guy wasn't amused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twas a stupid series of questions. No, it's not. One has nothing to do with the other. It's how they teach you CPR. You check if the person is responsive first. Then you go through his vitals; breathing is one of them. There are a lot of situations where a person is awake, but can't breathe; have constricted or shallow breaths. Or just getting the air knocked out of them. Asking someone if they're breathing is a good question because even a bystander will respond with something descriptive if something is wrong: they will mention wheezing, coughing, or choking sounds. it's also a common question after an impact; especially in sports; if the person can breathe properly.

Perhaps a better question after determining that a person is conscious/awake would be, "are they having any difficulty breathing?" "Are they breathing?" after learning that they are conscious/awake is, indeed, a stupid question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Isn't bleeding usually first? You can bleed out in just a few minutes. God hope one doesn't break the glass and get cut to ribbons. Probably too think. Breathing on other hand, is second. Look how long Gugny has been going without breathing and he's only partially brain dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
