First aid experience - any first aiders out there?

[lph]

If they say no there's nothing you can do about it (unless their unresponsive then you can go to town). But if they agree you need to stay till help arrives.

This sounds... like a US thing

But no, what I meant was more that, as a good polite standoffish Norwegian , I would normally never insist that a stranger do this or that and just stay out of their business. But leaving her while she was half conscious, just because she was mumbling "no, I'm fine, we can go now" would not have been right to do. I just gently ignored her, and talked to her husband instead. What I meant is that I had to be a bit more assertive than I would otherwise be, until she was conscious enough to know what she was saying.
