How surviving a bomb blast feels (shorten)

Imagine this:

Last thing that you remember is that you were standing with few of your friends in street, now you are laying on ground and looking around you and there is blood running next to your leg, there is something in your throat and it suffocates you, you are trying to remove it with your fingers but nothing comes out, you are trying to swallow it but it is of no help, you are trying to scream but nothing comes out of your mouth. And thing that scare you most is that you notice blood on your pants in groin region, and you think that all future fun is gone.

What would I do in a case like Boston?

If you can't save 'em all, save one.

See if there is an “ECA” course - means “Emergency Care Assistant”.

That would be a great alternative. I without a doubt can't do the physical requirements for the EMT class - lifting 137 pounds to my waist, going up and down stairs carrying 50 pounds - and I don't know if they'd waive those and let me just proctor the class. But in a bit of searching, I don't see the ECA class offered. We might not be a big enough town.

Sometimes listening to victim is gonna be only thing that you gonna be able to do.

Sometimes “listening” is not an option. If you are close to the blast your ability to hear anything is gone. The loss of even one of my senses really freaked me out for a split second or two.
