So, let me get this straight, after the father is told that his daughter is dying at a crash scene, he's supposed to relax, take a deep breath, meditate to achieve a higher consciousness, and then ask the cops' permission to see his dying daughter?

Apparently. Some of the know it alls just expect this guy to act like a machine.

No, not a machine. Just someone with sense enough not to panic. Someone with sense enough to let the emergency personnel tend to the patient when timely treatment could make the difference between life and death. It's a time when loved ones need to put off hysteria for the sake of the injured. I speak from experience.
