General Considerations for the SAR Casualty

         Use common sense 
         Remain calm 
         Always hope for the best, but presume the worst. 
         Never perform something you are unsure of. 
         Never move a seriously injured person, unless they are in danger 
       from the environment, or for medical reasons. 
         Don't allow a person to "walk it off" 
         Never approach and injured person from above. 
         Re-evaluate at regular intervals. 
         Keep lots of notes. 
         Have a witness to remove restrictive clothing and jewelry, and 
       place the objects in a safe place. 

                                 Remember: 
       if nothing else, do no more harm.
