      I believe it’s more the fear of looking informal or unprofessional. Without more formal clothes, he was afraid of looking like a random chancer copping a feel instead of someone trying to save a life. Pretty silly in retrospect but definitely a possible fear in the moment.

        I don’t know why but my brain went the direction of “it’s harder to hide a random boner in shorts” but don’t ask me why my brain is fucked that way.

          It’s not you. Saying ‘wearing shorts’ is why you didn’t give CPR is fucking stupid.

            He said he could have been jailed or beaten for touching her. The shorts probably just made the situation worse.
