GSW

2009 recap: on Feb. 5th RVC and i got sent to a 27D, GSW. the guy was in a very poor part of town that is also crime ridden and violent with a lot of prostitution. he was shot in a drive-by on his porch, but he didn't have a phone so he crawled across the street, maybe taking 10 minutes, to his neighbor who called the police. we arrived on scene and the pt was standing on his good leg on a porch, it was very dark but i could see he was very ashen and moaning. the police and fire dept. were just standing in the dark, below him on the ground, just looking up at him. i yanked the stretcher to the steps and walked up and grabbed the guy, we need to be off this scene in 10 minutes or less, he was a definite 'load and go'. as i grabbed him all the fire fighters groaned and yelled he was bloody, too late, i pulled him down to the stretcher and he covered my shirt in blood. we checked him quickly and noted that he was not shot above the waist but the pt's femur was crunchy and obviously destroyed and a large compartment injury was happening. the thigh can hold a fatal amount of blood in it and he was walking that line. we loaded him in the ambulance and his b/p was crap over crap and he was very cold and ashen. he was ALSed and rushed to the hospital. one of the worst femur injuries i've ever seen. i remember he told me who shot him, i seriously don't remember the nickname he gave me, but i told him you can tell that to the cops at the hospital. i don't need some thug life fag comin' after me for snitchin'. word life.
