Every now and then I work some really heinous crashes up on highway 9. July 17 was one of those. a motorcycle went head on into a porsche. We did our best on the ground, loaded him into an air ambulance and flew him to a trauma center. Based on what we dealt with I gave him a 50/50 chance. Wrong

he posted on BARF today. he is severly busted up, gonna be in the hospital for months and months but damn he is alive...we got it freaking right

So you did your job?


Every time I design something that works from now on I'm going to start a thread about it.

unless you're designing things like pacemakers, then no.

If I designed pacemakers, I'd make them beat to the rhythm of Gangster's Paradise.

So how much you want for that pacemaker?

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

You can beta test it for me for free.

How much a for a "Rapper's Delight"?

yep but 99% of the time we never find out the outcome. This time we did and it was on someone that was really iffy to make it to the hospital. There are a couple of guys here on RM that ride motos on that road and knew of /saw that crash. this post was for them.

hey tell you what, just put me on your ignore list and you wont have to go through the pain of reading anything I post and then having to come up with a witty retort

I gave him a 50/50 chance. Wrong

So if you give someone a 50/50 chance you expect them to die?

Looks like they delivered a fresh load of attitude to grandpa's house.

Eric, I'd call it a win anytime you can kept someone breathing after a devilcycle accident. An old friend of mine recently took one of those really expensive helicopter rides after he left the bar buzzed and went though a fence.

Eric, you can shovel my mangled body into an ambulance and bring me to the ER anytime.

With the amount of carnage you must see day in/out vs's what most other people in our populous see in their lifetime, congrats on you for being able to deal with it all. I couldn't do it.

Earlier this summer I was first to arrive/administer first aid CPR/and witnessed one death on scene (SUV rollover - both eventually didn't make it). I cant imagine having to see that on a regular basis, I couldn't sleep for nights after that...you have to find solace somewhere, and getting this kind of feedback (the guy you provided 1st aid to) must help. Good on you.

I've done this, but the threads still show up and I usually click them before realizing it's another blog post.

Having been on the other side of this, I made sure to stop by the local AMR and Station 17 to thank all the guys (and gal) who responded to my accident when I was released. Next February will be 5 years, they will probably all get a case of beer from me. Good on ya for a job well done.

Must spread.

Good work, Eric. Who knows how many lives you guys have saved on Road Course 9.

 

[-BB-]

So let me ask you this... Since it was a Porsche and a bike I'm not sure... Who was on the wrong side?

Porsche and other car = Porsche on wrong side
Moto and other car = Moto on wrong side

Porsche and Moto? Well, they could have missed each other completely since the Moto could have been in the Porsche's lane and vice versus.

 

[eric strt6]

Bb moto blew the centerline glanced off an suv at hit the porsche head on in the porsche's lane

 

[-BB-]

Ouch, tragic. Well not totally tragic. As you said the Moto guy survived. Also, I guess kinda good in that the person who got hurt was also the one at fault. At least it wasn't an "innocent" guy that just got creamed out of no where.

 

[buildyourown]

Thanks.
You did your job regardless of whether or not he lived, but it's always good to know you "won" one.

As someone who's taken said expensive heli ride, I know it can be hard to say thanks. It's not like they give out the contact info of the first responders.
