Re: first aid at school
So if in the situation where you asked:"If a person is in a burning car and it looks like they might have damaged their neck or back would you leave them to burn or get them out and risk further damage?" my answer was "I would be terrified of the burning car and too much of a coward to try to get them out." would I be sensible for not getting myself into danger or be condemned for not having helped the person who may subsequently have burned to death?
I honestly have no idea what I would do in such a situation because I have never faced it and until I do I don't know how I'd react. I suppose if it was someone I knew and loved then my own fear would be surpassed by my instinct to save them. That's why people try to get back into burning buildings isn't it, and firemen have to hold them back.
Unless it ever happens I won't know, and I sincerely hope it never does happen.
