Seeing that Joe was in critical condition, Sophia’s mind raced through her first-aid training, a skill set she had acquired through her volunteer work at the shelter. Her thoughts were a flurry of medical protocols and emergency procedures as she assessed Joe’s dire situation.

Her voice, though calm, carried an urgent edge that conveyed the gravity of the situation. “There’s a man on the street, and he’s unresponsive. I think he’s in severe medical distress. Please send help immediately,” she said, her words measured but laced with the urgency of the situation.
