    The drowning one doesn’t only apply to drowning but a lot of medical emergencies. People in need are often embarrassed to ask for help. Some are to busy panicking so they cometely freeze up. If someone acts odd just ask if they are alright.

      True, but it especially applies to drowning because they are under the water, unable to get air to make any noise.
