Probably just their terminology. We had a time we found a body in the ditch while driving home from a camping trip. We stopped and others stopped behind as we had a motorhome and boat and some thought we had a problem. Wife went down and kid was choking on blood so she did her magic to open his breathing. Other lady that stopped called 911.
They showed up and the kid was alive but barely seemed to be. One EMT looked at the other and said Let's bag him. Yike the wife says to the 2 medics he is still alive why do want to bag him. Turns out it is the oxygen breathing apparatus with the bag on the front that they were referring. Wife just about lost it with him still breathing. Unfortunately the family and us were in brief contact and e was bascially brain dead at the time and died shortly after.
