The Five Fears of Rescue 

I was the main first aid person in a two car head on collision. I didn't think about anything but helping. As it turned out the person that I was helping the most had a card in his wallet informing of his Hepatitis B. The ambulance attendants checked my hands quickly and cleaned them. Told me to see my doctor, and fortunately there was no infection. Everything happens so fast that sometimes you don't have time to think about it.

Wow. As a current First Aider and an Ex-Military Combat Medic who has seen lots of combat, I just want to say that this video was beautiful. Thank you.

Thank you, I had those same fears after I completed my training and then after I watched this video I saved someone's life and all my training kicked in for first time real situation and I was confidant and had no fear. The patient survived and is doing well

"you cannot make a dead person worse"- omg

..."go forth and rescue"....Amen to that! Great words to share. I look forward to seeking more of your knowledge.

Keep "Unsafe Scene" in mind especially when you see a downed person in a car crash, next to a downed power line, under cliff with falling rocks, etc, etc, etc... MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE BEFORE GOING IN.

Thank you for posting this video! These were the main reasons I was afraid of rescuing and now I feel a bit more confident about rescuing someone in an emergency.

Thank you, I learned CPR a long time ago. I have always thought that I could help if needed to but these videos make it clear that there is no reason that I shouldn't help if needed to.

Your a life saver

your videos are so amazingly thorough and helpful! They need more views. People need to be prepared and know what to do when they need to do it!

Thank you for inspiring.

You know what I am concerning!:)

I am big fan of you

Hi

Remember you should always make sure that the scene is safe. There may be hazards at the scene. Wither it’s an old abandoned building that is unstable, a building that is on fire, a burning vehicle, a danger of a explosion such as leaking fuel or explosive gases, a downed power line, oncoming traffic, water, smoke, poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide, broken glass or any other debris, a unstable vehicle, broken ice, slippery surfaces, or any other hazard at the scene you should be extremely cautious. Its not worth your life to enter a dangerous scene as you may become another victim and may make things worse. If you have any doubts stay away and call 911
