"It is mandated by law to get all info and vitals before transporting to er."
That is not true, there is no law that states that. Having said that, yes, it is desirable to have as much of that information as you can, but many times it is impossible. I've picked up many people who were unconscious and had no one with them or no ID. You do what you can to fill in the blanks. In cases of trauma, ideally you do not want to spend more than about 10 minutes on scene unless there are considerations like entrapment or being in an inaccessible location. Trauma cases need to go to a trauma center, because the usually will need surgical intervention. The first hour is called the "Golden Hour", because most patients have a much better chance of surviving if they can reach a Level 1 Trauma Center in that time. I can't say whether or not the treatment given by the EMT's was right or wrong, but Buickanddeere should not make statements of how long they took to respond and how long they were on scene unless he knows the times as a matter of fact. Many times people have a distorted sense of time in these situations, and they are proven to be incorrect when the documentation is analyzed. Even Paramedics and Firefighters sometimes don't accurately know the time line unless they are actively documenting it. (Usually times are established by radio traffic or computer logging, marking units responding, enroute, on scene, transporting, etc.) The skill level and experience may be a factor as well as the initial story they were told, again, no way for me to judge as I wasn't there. It is also possible that it didn't matter what they did, the child may have had irreparable damage done in the accident, and nothing could have saved him. But the title of the post says it all, these things are best prevented in the first place. I'm sure we all feel that there's nothing worse than losing a child.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
