I assume you mean the guy in the green shirt/pants? I believe he was an off duty paramedic who witnessed the incident and is now providing assistance- in this case he's holding an IV bag. I'm not defending him, just stating what I beleive the situation is.

Hello everyone and greetings from England. Firstly, well done Becky, just remember that you are now up to date with current teachings and some of the older guys might not agree with certain things you might say or do, so be prepared for that. We call it 'road traffic collision' (rtc) over here and I am our rtc instructor for my watch (crew). As being the youngest myself, I got the stubborn ones, but once I showed them the modern way, they soon came around. Good luck girl in your career.

I am so happy, I just completed the Basic Vehicle Rescue class that my company held, and passed the state test. Of the 17 of us who started the class, 4 completed it and took the test, and all 4 passed. But this has made me not only our youngest, but the only female BVR technician in my company!
