That takes too much time IMO. To me, there's not a lot I can do about altered mental state at the scene, so I focus on the things I can fix. Make sure everybody's yelling "Medic!" (Airway, breathing), then move right to "C". The burns weren't too bad, so not likely to be a priority. Shrapnel seems to have done the most damage, so I'm looking for bleeders.

Seems like it was bleeding out. I would check the guys with the thigh wound first, especially the through and through to the other leg, make sure it didn't get the femoral.

quick glance at the compount FX to make sure he wasn't going to go south on me. Then deal with him after I'm sure of the thighs.

Plus, the thigh wound stands a good chance of going into shock if I don't reassure him about his package ASAP.

Make sense? Just me.

Still want to quit?
