Yeah, real confusing as to how the driver of the Civic managed to pull a 180 like that!?? She took quite a spill off that bike! Good thing for that helmet cam to prove she was complete not at fault.

The other thing I really live is all the "Good Samaratans" that come to her aid. I understand that they are trying to help and that should be commended, but there was obviously no one there with any First-Aid training. It was like the Seinfeld episode where they didn't know if they should elevate the feet or the head, or give sugar or liquid to a man that just suffered a stroke!

All the constant yelling of "lie down" was killing me!!! Sorry, as an ex-First Aider I just had to rant on that.

question, instead of asking her not to move and lie down, what should they do? i am really curious, would at least know what to do if i see that

chuckb

they should have not tried to move her at all, right?

Exactly!!!

To answer your question Henry.....my training had always taught me that for all intents and purposes, the victim should not be unnecessarily moved. If the person is already sitting when you come upon them. Have them remiain there. They may very well have injuries and do not feel them yet due to shock, but they may also be more or less fine. The victim obviously knows their body better then we do. Ask them not to stand. Not really so much for aggravating an injury further but for fear that the victim could pass out once standing and injure themselves further.

All the bystanders "forcing" her to lie down will more than likely aggravate the victim and can cause the scenario to become a bigger issue once professionals arrive at the scene. Only because victims can be combative initially. Adding fuel to that fire just makes it harder.

To go back to my italics, "unnecessarily". The first order of triage in that situation would be the question, "Is the victim in any further danger where she is located?" The answer is maybe (hard for us to truly tell in the video), but, lieing in a highway could be very dangerous. In that light, first move the victim to a safe area. Then begin treatment. Along with that, your safety needs to be considered. You can't do the victim any good if you also get hit by a car!
