This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Call the doctor and then start paperwork

A patient arriving in critical condition requires immediate medical attention, since any delay could worsen their health outcome or risk their life.

Completing paperwork first, sending the patient back for documents, or waiting for senior approval all involve administrative delays that a critical patient cannot afford.

Calling the doctor immediately addresses the medical emergency first, and the paperwork can be started alongside or right after, without compromising the patient's safety.

Hence, the answer is call the doctor and then start paperwork.
