he was driving in the same direction as the truck, in the next lane, he was stopped so he thought he'd be nice and wave her out, but didn't cehck what was behind him and coming up.
ahhh still.. sounds like she should have pulled forward and taken a look herself rather than pulling right out... only driver one should trust is one's self imo... you just never know
just heard about the girl from the accident. she has a broken femur (sp?) and a crushed hip. guess she'll be flown here to the tampa hospital for a full hip replacement operation. im just glad she lived, despite her injuries she's lucky. she would have left behind a 2 year old daughter. no word on the guy in the truck. he must have been ok.
again i still havent heard or read anything official, this is all from my moms neighbor who works right where this happened.
It may sound callous, but these things get easier to stomach after a while. I have spent a lot of time working in ER's and the first few grusome things bothered me, but then after a while, it stops. Although, it still makes me queezy to hear about people getting injured, but for some reason, seeing it is okay.
I am applying to med school right now and I plan to go into emergency medicine and deal with this stuff full time. I am having this whole moral issue becuase I love when the trauma's come in. They are always more exciting, medicine happening at a rapid pace, boom boom boom, make a decision now, not later. Its a total adrenaline rush. But its at the expense of pain and suffering on the part of the patient and their family and I am not sure how to feel about that.
On another note, If any of you guys ever want to ride a motorcyle, please think twice about it. Or at least spend a night in your local trauma center first. We get a least a motorcyle accident a night where I work and many of these guys won't be leaving with both legs.
It's never too late to become the person you always thought you would be.
