Those were my thought exactly. Thank you for confirming. I don't usually pull over if the emergency crews are on site, but will stop and ask if everyone is okay, need help, or to call 911, if the needed services are not present. If everything is good, I leave. With the wintery road conditions, we have a ton of cars in the ditches. One guy was on the phone with CAA, but had no idea where he was, "uh, in the ditch!!" so I just gave him the cross streets, and was on my way.
Now this last Friday. I was going to work in the morning, when came across a 2 vehicle accident, both were in the ditch, and one was "hugging" a utility pole. A few bystanders on scene, who had no medical training, but were on the phone with the 911 dispatcher. So After checking for hazards, I identified myself as an advanced MFR, and asked if help was needed. Consent was obtained from the patient. So I had someone hold manual c-spine control, and asked the patient to not move his head. Asked questions, to assess LOA and LOC, to ensure an open and clear airway, ability to breathe without much difficulty, did a rapid body survey to check for any life threatening bleeding (with consent again). Covered with two blankets and kept talking to him, to keep him calm. His chief complaint was his neck and side of head, and a few small scrapes and bruises. The police arrived a few minutes after I stopped, then in another couple minutes, the EMS and Fire came, taking over the care. I gave the handoff report, and cleared with the cop that I was no longer needed, and was on my way.
This was my first "real life situation". Before it was only practicing scenarios, mostly with partners. So this was a big experience for me, that was somewhat on the nerve-wrecking side, but I did as trained (missing a few things, but nothing life threatening), so overall, I had a positive experience, and hope that the patient felt cared for.
