Honestly, I learned back when I was a cop that unless you are on duty and have a duty to respond, do nothing unless there is immediate threat to life or limb if you do nothing. I did stop at a pretty bad MVC on a rural road about 9 months after I graduated from my EMT class. Guy took a steering wheel to the chest and had about 4-5 broken ribs it felt like when I checked for crepitis, he was glad I was there when the next guy stopped and thought he was in cardiac arrest and wanted to start CPR....that would have hurt like hell!!! Just helped keep the guy calm while rescue and the ambulance were en-route, and gave them updates on basic vitals. 15 mins later the guys with the gear where there and I finally took a deep breath...Been certified just over 2.5 years and that is still the only time I have stopped.
