Picture yourself driving to work or the store or on your way home. Traffic is moderate and rain is coming down fairly heavy. Your hands are at 10 and 2 and you're driving safely. Suddenly someone passes you going way too fast while talking on their cell phone and as they change lanes ahead of you they hydroplane and lose control. Their car spins a few time and careens off the highway into the ditch and then up the other side until impacting with a tree. You saw how fast they were traveling and you know their collision must have been damaging. You're a Good Samaritan at heart and want to help.
"How?" you might ask.
I'm writing this blog as an instruction for saving lives such as these.
First, an introduction:
My name is Bruce Allan West. I was a combat medic in the US Army where I taught Combat Lifesaver which is an advanced battlefield first responder. I have also served as a civilian EMT, worked at a technician's level in ER's, and have attended a fire academy where I learned vehicle collision scene control techniques. My experiences in the field of emergency medicine at a technicians level have been vast over the course of seven years, and I have been able to assist in saving many lives.
Aside from emergency care I enjoy writing. I'm beginning this blog as a means of combining two of my passions into one.
Please check back later for updates and I will share my experiences and training curriculum with you so you'll be prepared when you witness that terrifying wreck.
