Man... that is hard to listen to. Props to what sounded like Medic 1 for calling for lifeflight for what they have and to start the MCI protocols.

It rattled me more than normal. Don't know why, usually I'm fine with stuff like this. But damn.

Like you said though - I am IMPRESSED with how thorough they were in detailing the exact situation, what they needed, and what to do next - they were fucking ON IT. I know everyone trains for this exact thing - but some people aren't naturally good communicators. These guys though - if shit goes down and I'm in danger, they're the ones I want to handle it!

Not sure if you saw my edit on my post, but that's why I kept getting the audio screwed up. I was trying to label each part, but listening to it over and over as I sorted it was awful. I finally silenced it and organized it a different way.
