Being a rocker is hard work, thank goodness I get monday off!

I went to a concert tonight, Flogging Molly. Mosh pit, crowd surfing, the works. Some kid got hurt and was being attended to be a red cross "medic". These guys have had an eight hour course, and that's it. I am able to assess the situation in five seconds and lean over to him and tell him to call a squad.
"He does'nt need a squad" is the reply. I say you never know with a neck injury. "He does'nt have a neck Injury"
I shrug my shoulder and dive into the crowd. When I come out they are putting a collar on him and have a backboard there. I'm keeping an eye on this situation and the next thing I know this control freak, know nothing "medic" has both hands over the guys face and all his body weight on him trying to force the kid to stay still. I totally understand why the kid would have gotten frustrated and combative given the idiot that was working on him. This situation was totally disgusting and more than I could bear. I went to the venue staff, told them I'm an RN, and that the treatment was very wrong.
Well, I was a nuisance of course. When I went to take picture of what they were dong I was forcibly removed. I went to the hospital I thought they'd take him to, but they took him to the other closest hospital. i called and asked the stafff to give his girlfriend my name and number, but whether they did or not... It was a horrible evening and I am quite disturbed. People should not get the kind of "treatment" I saw tonight.

Too bad they treated that kid so bad. I've seen it too. Very sad.
