Man falling is no joke

THE EDITOR: Trinbago, a man fall and dislocated his shoulder and this is a joke or was made into a joke. However, I must highlight the first aid errors.

First leave the fallen person on the ground, unless the fallen person gets up on their own. Second, leave the fallen person on the ground and assess them on the ground. Third, leave the fallen person on the ground and make them comfortable. Fourth, leave the fallen person on the ground.

A review of the video shows someone grabbing his injured arm and helping him off the ground - painful, painfu. And as he is escorted out, the male fire officer attempts to support him by holding the injured arm - more pain. And this happened in a Fire Station. The first aid treatment, or lack thereof, is no joking matter. This entire situation is not a joking matter.
