    I'm just impressed by that guy's ability to not freak the fuck out when he's faced with a double amputee in the middle of nowhere and the ambulance copter more than half an hour away.

      did you notice how calm and cool his voice was the whole time. It's like it was just another day at work. Unbelievable. I would have lost my shit before ever getting off the train. A big nope for me. Guess that's why Im not a cop or a nurse, Im not built for all the suffering and how to deal with it. How do you just then go home, eat dinner and play with the kids? It's amazing to me, they should get automatic mental health care. Dont even wait for them to ask, just assume it's needed.

      Imagine you really can't show how freaked out you are though it may seem you are. Plus you can't voice out any emotion you can in front of the victim. Neither can you puke or vomit coz of the scene. You really can't say shit or look shit in front of him. That takes tremendous amount of self-restraint. That's real professionalism to Deputy Nelson. Man, what a legend.

      For a change an officer did exactly what would be expected from a professional police officer , sadly there would be 100's of other officers asking him for his ID and telling he is under arrest for being on private property , promotion to sergeant for this man.

The male passenger was still breathing laying in the ditch by the car. My Step dad grabbed me by the shoulders and said "OK, I need you to help me. We don;t have time to freak out. Do you understand? And I nodded yes. I helped him stabilize the man and then he sent me running to a farmhouse for help (No cell phones in 1974). I sat on the porch of that farm and puked my guts out. Then I rode back to the scene.

He said people were trying to help but were running away as they saw the damage, he stayed with her, took off his belt, made it into a tourniquet and sat with her as EMS arrived. She survived and they said if he hadn't made that tourniquet she would've died. They're still friends to this day, she calls him often, says he's her angel.

He collided with a man driving a truck at a blind intersection. After my son hit his truck and flew 150 feet into a ditch, the young man who was a paramedic immediately called all surrounding emergency services and rendered aid. He was transported to a local hospital and later airlifted to advanced trauma care where he sadly passed on days later. I am so grateful to this young man who even came to my son's funeral visitation to comfort us. He explained in detail what happened at the accident scene. He checks in on me on Facebook. I am grateful for all the paramedics who rendered aid, particularly the one who rode with my son to the hospital and related my son's last moments while he was conscious. Heroes surround us.

    On an ambulance run while in the Navy. Got to the car wreck, I went to drivers side and (it's night time) and heard a voice inside with a heavy accent saying "Don't eat my guts". My co-worker called all clear from passenger side. Looking in w/flashlight was a man wedged between the bottom of the dasboard on the floor, and I could only see him from the waist up. He kept saying over and over "don't eat my guts". Co-worker sees something in the back seat and says 'we've got another back here, no movement. Just lots of blood'. Long story short: There was one person in the car. He was actually saying 'Donate my guts'. (Organ Donor) His legs had been severed at his waist, and apparantly flew into the back of his car from the multi vehicle crash. He passed away before we could extract him. It took us two combat medics awhile to process that incident, this was in 1974 stateside....still kind of haunts me. Never forget his voice.

    The best thing in a situation like this is talk to the person who is suffering (talk about the weather, your favorite food etc.) stay with them (even when the medics turn up, you are their point of reference), and keep them warm. Try not to move them and try not to ask too many questions that require a verbal answer. You don't need to be doctor or a nurse, you just need to be kind.
    I went through a similar accident, the pain was unbearable. My body was twisted in ways I didn't think was possible. I stayed alive because a kind shop keeper stayed with me and talked about liquor and the weather 😅. He held my hand and put his jacket over my body. I felt safe dispite laying on a busy road. He helped me get into the ambulance. I don't know his name, but I will be forever grateful for what he did for me.

      As an RN, I have stayed with four people on the roads after catastrophic accidents, until medics arrived. Two died as I spoke to them. Two were saved. I was glad I could be there for them, doing what I could to assess them and reassure them. I worked on a young soldier on a commercial flight, who fainted in the aisle. I asked him if he was dehydrated. He said, “yes, ma’am. We just finished basic and did some partying.” I made him stay flat in the aisle as I started an IV and got two liters of fluid in him before we landed. All his “men” (my God, they looked so young) thanked me. I have more field stories, but lucky for me, most of my patients were in the controlled environment of the hospital. Deputy Nelson performed well.

He gave them potentially several extra minutes to treat the guy in a situation where even seconds can make a difference.

I’ve been told we aren’t supposed to move them however if the person lost a leg then I don’t see why someone wouldn’t make a tourniquet and try to control the loss of blood before a cop or ems arrived. You can use a shirt, and a stick or something solid and long to get the tightness necessary to at least slow and control it. I do know we had a guy get pinned between two knuckles and it was a situation where he would die once they separate so they got his family out to say goodbye and they let him go while still pinned with his wife by his side.

      Sorry to disappoint you but it shouldn't, at least not completely. Everyone who, as most in the military do, ever have learned to attend to a person with war wounds can tell you this. When a person has severe wounds, has lost a lot of blood or body parts it is likely that this person will go into shock From there on the patient can easily go into a coma and never get out of it again. As a bystander you can not know what goes on in that persons mind, but the fact that he is awake tells you that his brain is still active. Therefore you NEVER discuss the gravity of the situation of a victim where he/she can ear it. The assistance provided by the trooper is perfect and the best someone could be able to perform in such a situation ..... except for the mentioning of the gravity; that could have gotten the victim into a hopeless coma and would have been really sad after all the efforts made.

He has another surgery ahead and a lot of PT. He may never have full use of his arm but the medics told us that we would have had a much worse outcome if my son had not acted as he did. My heart feels like it is in a vice when I think of my grandson and son as well as my daughter-in-law and other grandchildren going thru that terror.

My pickup sat up pretty high so it crushed my thighs and shattered my femurs. You could reach through my legs and I was bleeding out. I was laying sort of on the hood of the car but they decided to pull the vehicles apart. The crash totaled five vehicles and pushed me almost 50 feet down the road. Then I heard a familiar voice of the orthopedic surgeon who fixed my right wrist two years before. He remembered me and helped to load me into the ambulance. This will be 49 years ago this year. I now have titanium knees and hips and lots of back hardware. I spent over a year and a half in a full spika body cast from arm pits to ankles. Still can’t bend my legs 90 degrees but I get around.

      That’s actually pretty wild from what you and the other person said. Granted it’s probably painful as all hell, but it’s crazy to think that you could still possibly survive because of the pressure closing your wounds back up or even the heat. But at least you keep your life

He keeps talking to the patient, he's not lying to the patient about his condition yet reassures him telling him medics are on the way. But most of all... This deputy embodied what's best in humanity and in a public servant. I see so many of my ex colleagues or future paramedics/emt act like morons without basic respect of the patient's dignity.

      Sometimes train riders will put their dogs inside of their packs when they’re getting ready to hop cars or jump off the train, just to keep them close, secure them, and keep them from getting scared/ messing up the dismount… Maybe this man got caught up in the wheels while trying to switch cars and his dog was killed on impact?
