...If they only drove over his foot─ don't immobilize him. If you suspect a spinal injury─ have someone manually stabilize his c-spine right from the beginning. No sense of urgency at all. It probably looks impressive to the bystander though.
Without wanting to be one of those critics that appear on all EMS clips, this was really a very half-hearted management of the patient. There was way too much resources available (which is fine), which was not utilized. The FD could have made the scene safe with road cones, and helped move and immobilize the patient faster. While the paramedic seems to have no critical reasoning skills himself...
@Pmedic49 You need new material man. The sooner you ball baby paramedics realize Fire isn't going anywhere the less stress you'll carry around on your shoulders everyday. But I guess the passive aggressive paranoid paramedic is here to stay. Too bad......
Question. If a person is hit by a car, that would be possible C-spine injury, WHY ARE THEY LETTING HIM SIT UP and move around freely? i Know he has a C collar on but that doesnt rele do too much...
@iPLAYdrumz1 Question: why does every single video involving any paramedic/doctor/fireman have some tool like you criticising their medical practice? You weren't there, you don't know anything about the history, so stfu?
For all you know, that dude could have had is foot run over by a car doing 10, possible C-Spine, really
@iPLAYdrumz1 most likely because thats how they found him when they arrived. and they would want to move him around as little as possible to prevent further injury. plus notice when they put him on the backboard, they simply lay him back on it and slide him up. it's a lot less work and less room for potential further injury then laying him on the ground, rolling him over, then rolling him back.
Funny points...the supervisor is the only one wearing a helmet, the firefighter with the clip board probably writing down the evenings grocery list, the blanket on the dirty ground that the firefighter hands t0 the paramedic....lol.
@NBPCP The Guy wearing the helmet probably isn't a supervisor, he looks like one of the staff from the PRU(paramedic response units) found throughout the city. They are stationed in between ambulance posts to help cut down on response times
9 city workers and 5 city vehicles for 1 patient priority 3 return, when 2 paramedics and a cruiser would of sufficed?Its a shame Fire has to be tiered to every call just to increase their call volumes to justify their ridiculous budgets. Notice how many of them are standing around doing nothing? Good thing im not paying taxes in that city.
There was a much worse accident on that same interesection a high school student was killed by a car.
