During the European Championship, many people had a question about what happened to Barnabas Vargas: why didn't the paramedics run?

Eventually, the paramedics only walked quickly towards the player, who seemed to have lost consciousness at the time. Many were surprised.

On the "Quora" website, this question was answered quite clearly by paramedic Ross Cohen.

First of all, running is risky. If the paramedic were to get injured, there would be two patients, wrote the Englishman.

Secondly, running prevents seeing other emerging dangers. Of course, this condition mostly applies during fires.

Finally, running hinders proper concentration and preparation for a certain operation that requires maximum efficiency, explained R. Cohen.
