Just Witnessed an Accident

[ghosthunter]

If I remember correctly, in the 80's or 90's, there was a jeepney designed with it's entrance and exit on the right side. Sad to say it never quite caught on because there would be fewer seats for passengers. They don't care about safety here, just profits.

With the Indonesian version, it has the same number of seats when compared to rear or side entry because the rear entry becomes seats when it is converted to side entry.

Weld the rear door shut.

I think they should be given the argument that it's either fewer seats, or totally no jeepneys in the Philippines.

Eh di nag-rally nanaman yung mga ogag na Piston na yan

hula ko ang excuse ng jeepney driver nawalan ng preno.

Naku, diba dapat hindi ginagalaw yan kapag malubha na ang conditions? Kawawa naman yung matanda.

Calling Doc Otep, ano nga ba ang dapat na gawin in times like this...

Have not yet read the thread. But if you cannot rule out a spinal injury (sometimes due to the fall that comes after the crash), keep the patient immobile on thr ground. Concentrate on giving airway, breathing, amd circulation (control bleeding). Do not lift like a hog and throw into jeep.

Keep emergency numbers on hand. Q.C. DPOS and Red Cross are just at QC city hall and will respond once called upon. Otherwise, you can call tV5 rescue, untv rescue or abscbn ems and they usually rush like hell in their ambulances to newsworthy items like this.

kapag mga extremeties lang injury pwede naman galawin lalot na may bleeding,(pero hanggat maari dapat immobilize yung injured body parts and stop the bleeding by putting pressure sa bleeding site then takbo na sa ospital)...
pero pag head, spinal injury no no talaga galawin, wait nalang mga medics...
best mo gawin is to secure the area and ask the victim, lapitan mo hey hey are you okay? then call for help na hehe,( make sure na safe na area bago maki usyoso) ..

tama ba Doc Otep?

hehehe.. hindi na makakilos yun victim tapos tanungin mo ng ganyan ewan ko lang baka murahin ka pa nun. hehe

[OTEP]

Sir sop ang tanong na yun. Hehe. After securing the scene, yan din ang unang itatanong ng medic. Madami kasi madederive about the patient's condition from that question. =)

This type of accident happened before. I remember reading in the newspaper about a lady pinned between two jeepneys. She lived but her legs were reduced to stumps.

[Harangody]

Guys ano kaya mangyayari sa gagong driver kung na-amputate yung legs nung victim dahil sa katangahan niya?

[chua_riwap]

^dapat makulong! putulan din ng paa.

Personal injury accidents by jeepney is by it's own bad design. The passengers board and get off in the middle of the road by virtue of the design of the jeepney's passenger access. In other countries, they have changed to having the passenger door at the side of the vehicle. Indonesia is one example.

Okay rin iyan bro.,- kaso,- ogags ang mga motorsiklo rito,- lusot sa kanan, lusot sa kaliwa....
