Default OT Way Way Why do they lift someone's head when he is injured?

OT On tv friends always lift someone's head when he is shot or
injured, even when he's near death. Shouldn't his head be down at the
floor, and his feet lifted, in most cases so he gets blood to his
brain, etc.

You should not move any part of an injured person unless you have a
reason to. As for the head it is possible that they might be having a
breathing problem and that lifting the head could relieve it.

For the same reason they remove the rear view mirrors in car scenes. it
makes for a better shot. Who wants to see a camera shot of the underside of
the stars chin.

I believe that tipping the head back is park of the CPR process.

Because it's TV. Anytime you see something on TV that
you have any specialized knowledge about, you'll notice
that they get it wrong. This is why you trust them
to tell you who to vote for....

Yep. but there are some considerations for that if there is an
indication of a neck injury.

It's for the photography, so you can see the face.
It is always for the photography that they do
stuff on TV and film. TV isn't real life!
