Hope he doesn't suffer head injury..

You did your very best under very trying circumstances. I hope the patient will understand your efforts one day.

If you have access to professional help just to talk out this incident if those memory images don't go away after a few days or so, make use of such services.

It is most shocking to be reminded so unexpectedly of life, health and...love. Wonder if the accident victim had family / close friends living in the same city, in such a time of need.

One of my sisters was in a car accident as a driver. Interestingly she was on her way to work, at a hospital as the regular physician (family med. & emergency medical services). She slid on black ice and her car, slid into a bush..stopping within 10 ft. of going over a cliff. It completely damaged her car. She kept on having recurring (traumatic) images of trees crashing over her, which is what did happen..

When she told me this 1 wk. after accident, she looked as if she was going to vomit. The memory trauma was that great.
