It don't take statistics or deep research to see a trend.

Okay, did that. Firstly. the Mass Casualties Incident.

I have to say I was impressed with that and having reread it at your suggestion, remain so, because it challenged us to think through such a situation and how we might respond to an horrific medical emergency. The point of it was to make us think; it did that, at least in my case, although such thoughts do revive real incidents and are less than pleasant. I made an attempt at one point to resurrect it, believing that thinking through such a process might be the nearest we can come to the experience of it, in the way of preparation. While what was portrayed was certainly less than perfect as was pointed out at the time, for those who put in the effort to follow it through, I believe it provided what it was intended to, it did for me.

As to Mooskie's assertion (by only post No. 5), while there is divided opinion on what each may or may not do in a given situation, I still see no justification for the assertion that, "...most people would sooner sit and wait for them to die... or ... would simply shoot them..." Even BP admitted at one point he would help...
