Whilst I have no doubt that every emergency responder does their best 100% of the
time, I genuinely feel that we need to look far more closely at the efficacy of our abilities
to extricate victims of road traffic collisions, both from a technical and medical perspective;
we very rarely, if ever, do this. We need to look at our current training methodology
and ask ourselves if we can do more. We should forever question if “we did our best”.
Only by understanding how effective our current level of performance is, can we advance
as professionals and have a positive impact on the alarming numbers we see above.
