In my first aid course (emergency first aid, so one step above basic first aid), there is something that they teach you called "situational and scene management." Basically, if there are multiple first aiders coming to assist, having an experienced or advanced first aider that can direct basic first aiders or even members of the public while also providing first aid can drastically help someone's survival chances. It doesn't mean you don't care for the patient, but you can take the role of neck immobilization, and direct others such as "okay, take some gauze and put pressure on that cut on the arm please, good hard pressure. You over there, can you please get everyone to move back a few steps so that when the ambulance comes they can get in quickly?" etc and so on. Of course, this is a WAY more advanced incident, but notice how the lead doc, after assessing what needs to be done, has the other helimed doc as a support doc that does the actual emergency procedures, while she monitors oxygenation, heartbeat, breathing, and overall patient wellbeing. The support doc does the actual RSI, thoracostomy, and can continually check around the patient's body while the lead doc directs the paramedics and manages the patient. Hence, when he found that the radial pulse was weak, he suggested it could be blood pressure, and the lead doc made the call that they would go that route, and boom, patient stabilized. Intense situation, but cool, calm heads and "Asking around the circle" helped save a patient. 👍

I do not think that this a big deal for the most of us to donate blood. When we are healthy we have a lot of it, so 0.5 litres (sorry all americans... guess You wanted it in another scale...?) is no big deal! I have a blood group that perhaps is rare (O Resus negative) and that is a blood group that can be given to everyone. So when I was at the University they asked me if it was Okey to take 1.0 litre, because they didn't have enough of blood. "We have to put you in hospital at least for the night, but please we have nothing!..." The next day was a BIG exam for me, so I had to say no... - But please, all You who are in a medically speaking somewhat okey state, please become a blood donar...! It is SOO easy todo it, and one day perhaps You youself need blood...? ;-)

I don’t know how I’d feel if I was watching myself from above and understood the situation and passed away - I’d hope I’d feel content and at peace, rather then dejected and defeated.

I admire these people. Staying calm during such a stressful situation. I definitely wouldn’t be able to do the job they do.

Yer the US only uses the Anglo-American system (scoop and run the patient to the hospital and doctors). The UK uses a hybrid of the Anglo-American system and the Franco-German systems (bring the hospital and doctors to the patient on the scene). As shown in this video, when needed, UK EMS doctors will do complex anaesthesia, and life support on-scene, and sometimes, even emergency surgical operations on scene. Procedures which in the US can and are only done in hospital, never at the scene.

What a fantastic team kudos to everyone involved
