Gamer uses virtual medic training to help save a life

Gamer uses virtual medic training to help save a life

Quote:
Twenty-eight year old Paxton Galvanek was driving home on the I-40, about 25 miles south of Raleigh, NC when he witnessed an SUV lose control a flip over several times. While his wife called 911, he stopped the car and ran over to see if he could help.


Noticing two people in the car, he quickly freed them from the smoking wreckage and pulled them to safety. One of the men had only minor injuries, and Paxton took him away from the wreckage and warned him to stay clear of the smoking vehicle. The other man, however, was not so lucky. Paxton noticed he was bleeding profusely due to several missing fingers, and appeared to be suffering from severe head trauma.


Paxton took him clear of the vehicle, found a towel and kept it pressed against the man's lost fingers, and examined the head injury to determine what he could do to help. He decided the head injury wasn't as serious, so focused on the hand, telling the man to sit down, relax, and lift his hand high above his head. Five minutes later a soldier in plain clothing arrived on the scene and took over, informing Paxton that he had done all the right things and thanks to him the badly injured man wasn't in any immediate danger. With the ambulance on the way, Paxton went back to his car, and continued his drive home.
Looks like that game might be actually good for something other than recruiting...

He moved a patient with a head injury?

Seriously, though that's a great story. It's good to see games portrayed positively for a change.

In the case of a smoking vehicle which could catch on fire and explode, it's the right thing to do.

I know, it was just an excuse to use the !
If (danger of situation > risk of potential harm from movement) { move patient; }
