What are the first four steps to always take for most medical emergencies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 steps: 1) be sure it is safe for you to be there (another victim never helps situation). 2) check to be sure person's airway is open & they are breathing. 3) stop any rapid bleeding. 4) call for help (911 / someone to assist / etc.).
