Not quite the same, but still made me think a lot.... two days ago right outside my house was a very nasty RTC, was a guy on a motorbike and a very large monster car/truck. I did my best to help (in my pj's), but there's not a lot you can do without equipment a (road is very different to a ward setting), but it wasnt' the accident that made my heart sink, it was when the paramedic went to check out the guy who had been on the bike, to hear her scream that it was one of their colleagues who was on his way to work. He was on his way to deal with that kind of thing, and then it happened to him - worse still his colleagues had to deal with a close personal friend and colleague as a patient - my worst nightmare. Slighty off your topic - just doesn't sit nicely on the mind.....
