CHECK HOW YOU PARTICIPATED:<br />
PARTICIPANT QUESTIONNAIRE<br />
_ Passenger (uninjured); (injured/moulaged); _ Responder (Police)<br />
_ Responder (Fire Fighter); _ Responder (EMS); _ Responder (Other<br />
_ Drill Staff<br />
I was a passenger with chest pain and a strong cardiac HX. Priority 2. The<br />
firemen walked me off the train and brought me to the back of the fire truck<br />
and put me on a non-rebreather. The firemen then proceeded to blame me<br />
for having an MI because I was a smoker & also told me I don't want to be a feart attack victim in an MCI because I'll be the last to go. This may<br />
not be the best thing to tell an anxious person with chest pain. I've been an EMT for 8 years & I beleive you<br />
are supposed to calm the patient, not make them more agitated. His tone was condescending as well. I was put on a backboard with no collar &<br />
apparently given no treatment while en route. I was made a priority 1. Triage & disposition in the ER was handled<br />
well & with efficiency.
