Call 9-1-1 you idiot!

I read a blurb on the internet reporting that the massage therapist who discovered actor Heath Ledger dead in his bedroom actually called actress Mary Kate Olsen of television’s “Full House” fame first before dialing 9-1-1.
A massage therapist, who is supposed to be formally trained and state licensed to provide therapeutic health services, did not have enough common sense to call 9-1-1 when she found somebody unconscious.
When you find someone unconscious, the first thing you should do is try to wake the person. If that doesn’t work, then you or someone else needs to call 9-1-1 right away. Then start CPR.
I cannot believe that a professional massage therapist does not have the sense enough to call 9-1-1. She’s a health care provider, for heaven’s sake!
Instead of calling emergency right away as she should have, the nimrod called somebody on the actor’s cell phone speed dial and asked them what to do!
The “somebody” turned out to be Mary Kate Olsen, who evidently did not have the sense enough, either, to tell the idiot masseuse to call 9-1-1. Instead, she sends a private security detail over to the apartment.
If Mary Kate had any brains inside her head, she would have instructed the masseuse to hang up immediately and dial 9-1-1.
When the massage therapist finally did call 9-1-1, the dispatcher had to instruct her over the telephone on how to perform CPR.
I am flabbergasted to learn that this massage therapist, a health care provider, did not even know how to perform a basic medical technique like CPR.
Based on reports so far, it is unlikely that Ledger would have been revived anyway had the masseuse acted with common sense. But, as I learned from my CPR classes, every moment counts.
How long did the masseuse spend talking to Mary Kate Olsen before hanging up and dialing 9-1-1? How many seconds or minutes went by from the time the masseuse found Ledger to when she actually called 9-1-1? Could Ledger have been revived had the idiot masseuse dialed 9-1-1 immediately instead of calling another idiot on a cell phone?
Better yet, had the masseuse known CPR, would she have had a chance to revive the actor?
Unfortunately, we will never know whether or not quicker action would have revived Ledger. What we do know is that his last opportunity to return to life may have been placed in the hands of nimrods.
Sorry we couldn’t have done more for you, old boy.
