I think that it is just human nature. They have a loved one on the floor unconscious or bleeding and time seems to fly by.
Have you ever needed to call 911? I have, for my unconscious father who had passed out due to hypoglycemia. Even though the fire house is only two miles from my house, it seemed liked it took them 20 minutes to arrive.
