This goes again the training of an EMT, whose instinct is to treat the patient with the worst injure first. This ethical judgement call of who to treat first is made difficult when friends and family of the severely injured beg for you to help their loved one, but you have to move to move on to the next person because their injuries are too severe like open head wound or cardiac arrest.…
