Watching a Doctor Mike video, I remembered one the first rules of medical crisis management for non-medics:
If you're the one keeping your head while all around you are losing theirs, you don't shout "SOMEBODY CALL 911!"
You knife-hand the closest other person and shout "YOU! CALL 911 NOW!"
If you're the one keeping your head while all around you are losing theirs, you don't shout "SOMEBODY CALL 911!"
You knife-hand the closest other person and shout "YOU! CALL 911 NOW!"

I think Tim Apple is trying to tell me something (e.g. "Move to Bristol and start a trip-hop project").
