There is little you could do although probably not much needed to be done (or at least can be done in that setting). I doubt that the paramedics did much apart from checking vitals (which you would have assessed) and then stretchered her off routinely.<br /><br />and lastly...<br /><br />"It is on the wrong side of the diaphragm" haha I can say that you cant<br /><br />KSretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-74321597294309139642013-06-05T07:22:44.638+10:002013-06-05T07:22:44.638+10:00Awesome stories.

My mum had my sister (her first child) in a caravan with the help of my dad (who was drunk at the time having just got home from darts).Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075991022814021056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-50912443048033708322013-06-02T20:48:08.873+10:002013-06-02T20:48:08.873+10:00Grats on your new nephew :) Glad everyone is okay ...Grats on your new nephew :) Glad everyone is okay too. <br /><br />I think you're wrong though and that there is stuff you can do. First just having a doctor at the scene could be quite calming for the injured and the bystanders, meh you can always bluff them! Second, there might not be much you can do, but there's also a lot you can stop other people from doing. Another is the confidence in your own skills in even basic first aid, for example, how many other people get tested annually on CPR for example, the last time I did any was probably a decade ago! Some people never have.<br /><br />Last one, you could always Macgyver up an IV from some tubing, a couple of coconuts and a sharpened metal tube (I saw Jackie Chan do it in "Who am I" LOL) if you need to..... ;)Mabahohttp://bikesbabesbytes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-27519678934982493392013-06-02T17:16:42.489+10:002013-06-02T17:16:42.489+10:00Such an amazing story!Such an amazing story!Skreedlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-9690305663158636642013-06-01T21:21:13.731+10:002013-06-01T21:21:13.731+10:00I was very impressed with her!

Don't think that you did nothing for the car accident. Calling 000 is still something and imagine if his injuries were a lot worse. It might well have been the difference btwn life and death (even if you were waiting for an ambulance) but he did sound very lucky in this case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-57925375800106712512013-06-01T09:45:54.731+10:002013-06-01T09:45:54.731+10:00I would imagine Julie had heaps of calls - I find ...I would imagine Julie had heaps of calls - I find nurses find more emergencies than doctors outside!

As far as I know, though, she never had to deal with any medical emergencies during the flights. Probably happened a lot less often, what with only 14 passengers on a DC-2.<br /><br />As an ICU nurse, Julie's been called on to deal with health crises outside of work on various occasions, some of them extremely serious. Like you, she's found that there's not a whole lot she can do without the proper equipment beyond calling for an ambulance.Ratshaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111084510465688124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-7520087166564839662013-06-01T06:51:30.371+10:002013-06-01T06:51:30.371+10:00Oh Navi!
