They move fast on the dangerous things.

Yep. Look how far we've come since 9/11! I'd like not to be sarcastic, but watched an emergency room show on the Discovery Channel this past week showing 7 burn victims that came in to a small hospital and THEY JUST COULD NOT HANDLE THAT MANY TRAUMA PATIENTS. To top it off, an angina patient came in and the physician in charge was overwhelmed. He couldn't get EMT people to assist (they were busy). Then when he wanted to airlift them out to facilities that handle burn victims, he practically had to beg to accomplish that. From a preparedness standpoint, if that hospital was an example, we're all in deep deep trouble.

You will find we are in trouble.

I think that part of the trouble in training the trauma groups, is due to the fact that so many think "It will never happen here".

In order to learn, one must "want to do so".
