That’s what I wonder about.

Is it true that if the prisoner is talking then his breathing is fine?

Should every jail also have an emergency doctor on site? That would get expensive.

How much does it cost to have a paramedic on standby? Not only for the prisoners, but for the guards in case of emergency. But more specifically, once the soldier asked for help, 911 should have been contacted. That is obvious. Zero concern for him.

No, it's not true. If it is difficult to get a breath but you can still say words,"I can't breathe," is what you will say. You are not going to be explaining that you find it difficult to get a breath. You will be using a minimum of words and you may be really feeling that you can't breathe or are losing the ability to breathe In any event you are scared, afraid that you are losing the ability to breathe. You would be less than conversational in that condition.

No people are taught that if patientsprisoners say they cannot breath, they need to be loosened and checked, the old saw of he can talk means he can breathe is untrue.
