I work concert security. We have all sorts of people who work for us. One is a woman who’s a little… odd. She came upon a guest who had overindulged a bit, and was unconscious in their seat. She immediately began CPR, without checking for pulse or breathing, without laying them down, and of course they woke up like “what the heck are you doing!” Now she tells people she has a “save” under her belt.
Given THIS strip, I can see how he might have assumed something else.
