My first trauma

Hello everyone, boy do I have a story to tell. Well, after class tonight and FHE my sister called and needed me to help put some air into her tire that was running a little low. So, I changed out of my paramedic uniform and then she picked me up. So, on our way I notice that there's a car accident in front of Taco Time so I tell my sister to get in the other lane thinking it was just another 'car accident'. As we got closer I realized that it wasn't just another 'car accident'. I saw someone on the ground covered with what looked like a coat. The ambulance wasn't on scene so I jumped out of the car and immediately checked to see if the young woman was breathing. Yes, it was a young college female. She was on her side and I knew I didn't want to move her for fear of hurting her worse in case she had a neck or spine injury. So, I leaned over her and listened for air, which was present and then I checked her pulse. She was alive and breathing but unconcious. To be honest, I was ready to do CPR if I needed to but luckily, she was breathing. So, as soon as I determined she was alive the ambulance pulled up and wow, I knew everyone on the ambulance so, I pretty much got to help with everything. She was actually bleeding from a head wound which, luckily I didn't kneel in with my good jeans. But, we backboarded her and cut the rest of her clothes off and found that she had a broken tibula fibula, so we vacummed splint that and then got her on the ambulance. She was unconcious but responded to painful stimuli because when I tried to start the IV she pulled away. I tried three times and still missed because she kept pulling away, and I even had someone else holding her arm. Luckily, while I distracted her on her left arm the lead medic was able to get an IV on her right arm because he knew that I wasn't going to get with her pulling away like she did. I think I just need to get more muscles to hold em down for the IV. But, anyways, we get her to the hospital and the lead medic was able to call Air Idaho to have them chopper to Rexburg to take her to EIRMC. Head CT ended up showing that she had a basal skull fracture and a subdural hematoma. So, before Air Idaho took her they decided to intubate her because she was becoming less and less responsive and had snoring respirations so, I got to watch them intubate her, even though, really I wanted to do it but knew I couldn't because the Doctor was doing it. Sad. Then they choppered her out and that was last I know of her. I hope she is okay. I think she will be though because of the help she got. But, anyways, I just wanted to tell everyone my cool story. Oh, and I got to bag her too, my first ever. It was very exciting. But, let this be a lesson for everyone, even though the pedestrian had the right away and was in a clearly marked cross walk, she still got hit. Please, please, and I can't express this enough, take care when you cross any street, day or night. Try to wear bright or white clothing when it's dark. Most drivers try to be careful but sometimes you just don't see them. And also, pay attention at the wheel. It's easy to get distracted but try to be vigilant in attention, because you could save someone's life. Take extra care friends! Aloha.
