Is she a paramedic or an emt? there is a large educational difference between the two.
Rattling on about ‘checking for a pulse’ reminds me of the antifa ‘medics’ who screams at the credentialed paramedics in Portland like those paramedics don’t know what they’re doing.
“We do NOT recommend that lay public rescuers waste time trying to assess for a palpable pulse. During Dr. Kern’s tenure as AHA National ACLS Chairman, the AHA came to the same conclusion. Public lay rescuers cannot reliably detect the absence of a pulse in a timely fashion, hence in the 2000 and 2005 AHA CPR Guidelines (Circulation 2005; 112(24): IV-3), this requirement was removed.
Studies have also shown that even if a person manages to locate the correct spot for detecting a pulse, there is a high chance that the pulse they may detect is their own, especially considering heightened stress levels in such situations. “
