It does not diagnose anything. If someone may be seriously hurt or ill, call 997 (ambulance, anywhere in Saudi Arabia),
911 (US) or 112 (Europe / mobile phones) and follow the dispatcher — they can coach you through
CPR and bleeding control while help is on the way. (For a severe allergic reaction, give the epinephrine first.)
Turn knowledge into skill. A hands-on course makes this muscle memory:

Content from the First Response slide series (decks 1–6), built on American Red Cross First Aid
Steps & Learn First Aid, AHA Guidelines 2025, NHS, Stop the Bleed and Poison.org, and merged in October 2026 with the
Saudi Ministry of Health First Aid
awareness platform (seizures, head injuries, stitches, burns, choking, drowning, home injuries) — each card lists its sources at the bottom.
Where a note mentions “the 2003 chart”, it means the BarCharts QuickStudy First Aid chart (2003)
that the series started from; those notes mark where today’s advice differs.
The emergency steps work without a connection — CPR, choking, severe bleeding, the recovery
position and calling for help are built into this page. Other topics and the search are fetched from
MedConsults’ own server: what you type in the search box is used to find matching topics and is never
stored or logged, and nothing is sent to any third party. The times you note stay on this device until you
close the tab.
