Well I am a former US Marine and I dont panic, in fact I was trained to ALWAYS keep my cool during any crises and THAT is basic training that is also offered by most police and fire departments and other crises workers, if you ever take such training or listen to such people talk the first thing they tell you and the one thing they ALWAYS stress is the IMPORTANCE of keeping your head during an emergency/crises.
I am certain it would be suggested I am a sociopath if someone seen me in the midst of a crises. If I were to have lost my cool during the emergencies and crises I have been in I would have been brought back from Iraq/Afghanistan in a body bag.
Granted not everyone has had such training but it really isnt out of the norm for some people to be able to remain calm during the most frenzied times.
I understand that, I worked as an EMT and I did just do what I was trained to do, whether the patient was alone, with terrified family members, etc., however when it came to my own kids getting hurt I did not remain as calm..I have seen another EMT respond to a call in which a member of his family was involved and he needed to be removed from the scene. So sometimes no matter what a persons training, when it involves their child they may find it impossible to maintain that level of calmness.
