    Dr. Leigh Vinocur answered:
    If someone has fallen in your home:

    – If they are not breathing start CPR and stop any bleeding with pressure.

    – If they are unconscious or complaining of neck, back or hip pain DO NOT move them or try to straighten twisted limbs or try to push bones back under the skin.

    – Call 911 immediately.
