well, not today, but the other day i was the first trained person
on the scene of a motorcycle wreck. I was right behind the 3
bikers when all of the sudden one went off the road. Luckily he
was conscious and able to communicate, and the main thing was
that his wrist appeared broken, but i held his head and neck so
no further camage would be done by movements. (this is called
cervical spine imobililzation) until the medics and other fire
fighters could arrive. It makes all those hours of training
worth while when i am able to put the skills to use to help
others. I was glad he was not apparently injured any more
seriously than that (although there is a chance that a heart
attack might have caused him to swerve initially)

possibly the most painful thing for him was when they
cut his leather jacket off to assess his injuries!!
