I ran a call 2 years ago, a motor vehicle accident with 2 cars. One car rearended the other. The receiving vehicle (lol) had 3 kids in the backseat ages 4,7, and 9 I believe. The back door was jammed so we were going to pop the door open. Well the kids were freaking out, the mother who was in the driver's seat was complaining of neck and back pain but turned herself 180 degrees to yell at me before popping the door, then turned another 180 degrees to pick each child up from the back seat, pull them out of the front seat and carry them to the median strip. After all 3 children were out of the car the mother put herself back in the driver's seat and we had to extricate her from her seat. She would not walk to the ambulance, we had to collar her, transfer her to the backboard, and strap her down right there. What was the point of all of this? It took all I had not to yell at that woman and tell her she was an idiot but because I'm proud of what I do, I restrained myself. I just shake my head and laugh at her now when I think of that. Turns out she didn't have anything wrong with her. Oh yeah, and her car was totalled anyway! lol.
Maybe she thought she'd be seen sooner if she was pulled from the vehicle? I don't understand the point of her actions, but it was enough to drive me nuts! lol.
