Re: Bad afternoon
I was an EMT in the DC area for a while. Tough job.
The weird thing is I treated a guy who hit a car head on while riding a
motorcycle. No helmet. Essentially walked away (no breaks, no road
rash, no blood, just a HUGE bump on the noggin. Lucky SOB).

Re: Bad afternoon
Thanks for helping. I cant count how many times I have come up on a downed
rider, or someone hurt in a car, and people are just standing there with
their thumbs in the wrong places.
It sounds like you know what you are doing, and you were prepared. I carry a
basic kit on my bike.
There are situations where you can do no more, and this was one of them.
I have been where you are now, and it has kept me awake many nights.
Even the best doctor can't save everyone, so I just do as I would have
others do.
