Explanation:

Under circumstances where a minor is injured and you are left without a parent or guardian on hand, the best option in this case would be speaking to experienced professionals as seen in option 4 by contacting Medical Control.  Talking to the police is an option but they are not quite as experienced in the medical field as a doctor and will most likely direct you to a doctor or physician. Both options 2 and 4 would work, but the best option is for you to ask either a doctor on-site or to contact Medical Control.

yes, it is pretty much the same thing, which is cool. : )
