I "killed" a patient tonight in a practical exercise for a fake motor vehicle collision. I triaged her as "good as dead," but I didn't try and mover her first. I was pulled aside afterwards and told that if I had, she'd have died, so I did the right thing, according to one of the other EMT's. That made me feel a little better.
I have my first ride-along on Friday. Here's hoping I don't "kill" a "real" patient and get "thrown out of a moving ambulance."
