How do you treating shock?

Answer 1

"Clinical," or physical, shock is a life-threatening medical condition and should be suspected when someone has been in a serious accident and/or has wounds. Call your local emergency services immediately; don't try to make a determination yourself.

Emotional shock is typically not life-threatening, but it can be. Some witnesses to horrific accidents or acts of violence can suffer heart attacks or other physical crises (for example, emotional shock may constitute an "assault" on the adrenal system). Such persons can also suffer grave psychic injury. But prompt, sensitive, **qualified** medical attention and follow-up care can help to prevent lifelong after-effects.
