WFO, you are absolutely correct. I won't try to explain, justify, or judge the actions of anyone there that day. Indeed, I knew this detail would raise some questions.
The day when we start to question HOW and WHY things happen like they do at an accident site, is the day we go down the toilet.
You do the best that you can in the given situation.
I have to whole-heartedly agree with WFO, that is the first rule of being any sort of an emergency responder.
Second rule is don't ever put the safety or lives of your co-worker(s) or the patient(s) in jeopardy by any of your actions.
It sounds to me that this was an effective rescue.
May they continue to happen, where needed!. [Linked Image]
