This is the second patient who was dropped off from the van. The soldier helping him gives you a report. “This casualty was 2 to 3 meters away from the unmanned ground vehicle when it detonated. The blast threw him into the side of a vehicle. We think his side impacted the vehicle first, somewhere around his hips. When we first got to him, he was knocked out, but he started to wake up after a couple of minutes. His left arm was bleeding, so we put a tourniquet on it. He yelled in pain when we tried to get him up on his feet. He couldn’t stand or walk, so we had to take him on a litter. He has been holding his abdomen and hips. The explosion happened about 50 minutes ago.”
