Sorry to point this out, but what you just said is 100% ridiculous. >There are many kinds of injuries (not just puncture or spinal injuries) that get much worse if treated by someone with no medical experience. So? Just leave the guy to die under the bus? >The article said his leg was crushed but lifting the bus "looked like the most reasonable action to take". The article is reporting second hand information from eyewitnesses. Basing your analysis on that is to put it bluntly - stupid. >One of the possible consequences of a suddenly released crush injury is kidney failure caused by crush syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crush_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crush_syndrome So what? You keep stating these as-if they are revelations. People already have a good understanding that injuries can have unanticipated complications. >Like all of the people involved in this story, I'm not a medical expert, How do you know that nobody there was a medical expert? They did not interview 100 people. Nor did they do a survey of all the people around the accident. >However, I think it would be responsible journalism to ask a medical doctor whether the crowd did the right thing before hailing them as heroes and encouraging others to do the same. The word hero was not in the article. In any case, they ARE heroes because they risked their own safety to help another human being.
