I know from being a female I tend to react with emotions first and foremost...(I'm sure I'm not speaking for all females here) but I would haul booty too if I thought a loved one was in need or about to die!! I would want to be there ASAP to do anything at all possible for the patient or extended family etc. Men usually are more analytical therefore react more calmly than those of us that react to the "heart" and thinking as caregivers we could be of immediate help to someone.
