Cell phone, speed, both ?
Multiple “”patients” inside? LMAO! This was a hospital delivery vehicle? How do you know they were “patients?” Were they on their way to a medical appointment with their doctor?
Bob, anyone in an overturned vehicle is considered a patient. Simple as that and most assuredly the Captain gave that as his size-up, “we have two patients”.
Bob, When medical (EMTS) are involved in getting them out, they are referred to as patience.
Amanda. Accident victims are not referred to as “patience”. They are patients as Bob said.
In amanda’s defense, i think it was just the spell check taking over. She probably meant “patients” to begin with
