Second guessing another BLS's assessment/treatment?

[Aidey]

^^^ That is very true. You can reassess the patient piece by piece if necessary. Instead of totally taking them off the back board remove one head block at a time. Or loosen the straps and do the flat hand blood sweep from day 2 of your EMT class.

Following what JP said, it is infrequent I see a patient left on a back board. More commonly I see the c-collar left on and the back board removed.

Before I offer a comment, could I ask you to clarify this statement?

As I understand the OP was concerned about a posterior bleed.

Are you suggesting a scenario in where the Liver was penetrated from a posterior low velocity wound?

yeah, before OP clarified, she just said it was some form of posterior bleed, i was merely providing an example of an injury that might look minor at first, especially compared to the level of bleed a head injury usually entail. but could have a profound impact on patient care if not managed.

Also, while we all work together, i dont begin to tell them how to fight a fire when i am working as an EMT, i appreciate the help, but i will do my own assessment, taking everything the FD said into consideration as long as it flies. If you explain yourself to them, im sure they will understand and appreciate your thoroughness
