Nope, the umpire's job is to make the call. It is a dead ball. If the player's team isn't watching the game, what are you umpiring, practice? Unless you are qualified and licensed to administer medical aid, the most you may want to do is "suggest" that someone from the team may want to check on their player.
The ambulance chasers, insurance companies and cowardly judges have made it a risky proposition in attempting to help our fellow human being and when it comes down to it, my family comes first.

" "suggest" that someone from the team may want to check on their player."
equals
"stop play and get someone's attention "
