The child's heart was first shocked 7 minutes and 3 seconds after the
911 call.

The paramedics arrived 3 minutes after the 911 call, which means the kid
was under their care for 4 minutes before they shocked him.

I'm assuming the paramedics had access to a defib. So perhaps there was a
reason why they decided not to shock him right away.

From experience I would bet that most of the time difference is due to the
time paramedics arrived was actually when they called on location as they
pulled up behind RnRC, which is not necessarily the time when they came in
contact with the patient. They would have called their dispatcher that they
had arrived at RnRC, and that's the time recorded (3 minutes after the 911
call), but it may have been another 2 to 3 minutes by the time the
paramedics walked to where the child was and the paramedics actually knelt
down next to the boy to assess and begin treatment. Of course I'm curious as
how someone knows that the heart was shocked precisely 7 minutes and 3
seconds after the 911 call. Did a CM stand by with a stopwatch, which would
seem odd in itself?
