Hi Gaut,
I was forced to watch casualty as my crew mate for the day was as sad as
you. The thing that I commented on at the begining of the resus is...
"....if he doesn't get him to theatres he'll die!"
Guess what - he did.
Putting tonnes of fluid in him won't plug the hole - I said to myself as I
watched the chap code. Whatever happen to ATLS anyway???
Then I got fed up with it as I watched the doc desperately doing CPR while
the nurses looked on probably thinking the same as I was.
I made myself a cup of coffe and went down stairs to refil the Hudson masks
on the ambulance and listened to Pink Floyd on Radio 2 instead.
