good start...

scene is safe.
as for BP... radial pulse palpable...that makes your BP at least???
he's talking and complaining of pain so airway is intact.

not certain the medics carry penlights but i'll make PERRL

what is DCAP? I'm civilian...is this a military acronym?

pelvis rock leads to LOTS of pain but no boney crepitance appreciated. Right foot is swollen/bruised/tender. Pulses are intact.

what would be appropriate management of shock? how much fluid? when to start?

the topic is obviously PELVIC fractures... so

what are the three different types?
how can you distinguish them clinically?
Which types tend to bleed?
what can you do in the field to possibly decrease bloodloss?

am on call...slow for the moment...more later if time allows.
