Spotted the RSLS ambo down on the esplande yesterday had a chat with the 2 guys down there, was curious that they only hold senior first aid/occ first aid certificates and operate the ambulance as such.
Transport to hospital yes indeed they tell me never been told not to.

They certainly took a while to get him out - and couple that with my observation that the ambulance then travelled the internal service roads at such a slow speed makes me assume they were concerned with neck or spinal injuries.
Good to hear though on the Sunday morning that the driver was OK.
As for what they actually did to get the guy out of the car, I was too far away and couldn't see clearly. But as a member of the WA Sporting Car Club and someone who participates in motorsport at Barbagallo Raceway, I've never had any reason to be concerned about the medical staff.

quite concerning that the vehicle was rolled back into the upright position before any patient assessment and or spinal immobilsation was done, remembering that over 25% of spinal trauma occurs after the incident itself even the television coverage changed to something else. Great to hear that hes ok though

Oh ok, interesting that most ed RNs are not trained in vehicle extrications or applying collars, backboards keds etc. Last i looked it isnt part of a nursing degree. Not having a go at Rns and they are a very valuable asset to hospitals and homecare patients and much more
