You know, I've always wondered about this. Do you think they call another ambulance to help her? Or do they "hit and run"? Hmm...

Our SOP (in the event that this happens - luckily it hasn't happened to us) is to call for another rig, treat the patient while we wait for them to arrive. The second rig transports, since the first rig is evidence, possibly evidence to a crime scene.
