Why you should never splash water on someone who has fainted
Orthopedic surgeon Dr Mir Jawad Zar Khan advised against splashing water on someone who has fainted, stating it does not address the underlying causes. Dr Alok Gangurde, HOD of Emergency Medicine, emphasized that such actions can delay medical help and distract from recognizing emergencies like cardiac arrest. Instead, bystanders should check responsiveness, call for help, and act quickly.
