Doing CPR for a while seems exhausting! Fingers crossed I'll never need it.
I only had to call the ambulance once, when I witnessed a car crashing into a motorcycle. I called the ambulance immediately and got put on hold - I never even considered that I could be put on hold when calling an emergency line! Though of course it does make sense, there were half a dozen witnesses and I think all of us called immediately.
That was only a few years after I did my first aid class to get my driving license, but it was hard to remember anything while looking at someone lying on the street injured and bleeding. A few other people were doing first aid, and I think I just stood around for a minute or two with a few others before I remembered to put up a warning triangle because the accident happened right after a turn.
Hm, I should really do a refresher course (after the pandemic.)
