Fire responded to the crash and were in the train within 5 minutes. An officer quickly brought all those able to walk out the back
of the train. Once there, however, we were left, with no notification of when care would come, where we should go, or
what was going to happen. One pt. was blinded, I was cut in many places, I had an open fracture of the arm. We should have
been directed to triage? We made our way there and eventually were cared for. Triage for me was good - efficient & quick,
treatment very slow (as it should be priority 3). I was triaged at the ALS truck in the hot zone then sent across the street. Rob
