except no
Sweetheart, have you ever worked a pedi code in the back of a rig? We do the same as y’all.
Who said “except no?” I dare you to do a ride along. Walk a mile in our shoes. See what people look like still in their mangled cars, before the gaping tears in their flesh are covered by nice, white, sterile gauze. Try intubating at 75mph down a bumpy road. Become acquainted with the feeling in the pit of your stomach you can only get by forming your own differential Dx and implementing a treatment plan all by yourself. There is no MD to give orders; all the responsibility and liability is on your shoulders. Welcome to my world. Buckle up kid I’m driving.

I would have removed the bag from the pt in the ambulance. I also would not have had the pt walk in to the ER; we are medical professionals that use fancy medical equipment (like stretchers). You would have been held liable I’d the pt had taken off running. When putting the pt into the bed keep your distance and give directions.
Sounds like you did a good job maintaining good situational awareness. Next time follow your gut and take control of your scene. Keep your head on a swivel.
Do no harm take no shit.

Noveske made some bad ass shit. Fired a few Noveske weapons and I’d love one but I don’t think i can spend more on a firearm than my girlfriend’s engagement ring. I might get in trouble.
