Just to clarify, I was not physically hurt at all, it was all an act.
My global health class had the opportunity to participate in a mock accident to help all of the emergency services practice their emergency assessments and triage.
My injuries were a major laceration to the head and a lacerated liver. I was in the bus that rolled. I absolutly love acting. It is a passion of mine and it is one of the most incredible highs in the world! My character that i was playing was stuck under the seat of the bus crushing my liver so I was not in too much pain till I moved and unfortunatly for me the fire fighter decided that was almost immediatly after he got into the bus. So then i got to practice my screaming :)
Once I was out of the bus they moved me to the 1st priority triage area where I stayed on a spine board (and cried by the way) for three hours. I know that pride comes before a fall but I was good. A couple of the emergency servive providers came by to ask me if I was hurt for real because I actually appeared like I was hurt.
By the way there was a super cute paramedic that told me to "keep doing what your doing. Your doing amazing". Sorry to brag.
After about an hour my character went into shock and two hours after that I finally made it on to an ambulance. and then I kinda went to far. I hyperventilated myself into an actual problem. I kinda passed out in the ambulance for a sec.
I had soo much fun! A lot of people in my class are complaining that things didn't happen the way that they should have or as quick as they wanted them to but that is the point. We did this so that the problems would become evident for the service providers. It was totally worth staying up all night and going early and the money.
This is my bruise from my licer laceration :) and I'll add photos from my head alceration later cause it was pretty cool too! Anyways I'm going to go finish homework. Goodnight world!"~Char
