He was just quoting Haywood from the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” 
That sounds a lot like a witness to a decapitation whom Cecil cited in a column on the subject. IIRC, it was a taxi cab (in Korea?), and the victim’s face registered shock and panic after seeing his separated body.
Cite: I was an EMT who has worked a mass casualty incident (around 100 patients in a massive freeway pileup in dense fog)
In a mass multicasualty situation you are incorrect.
Black triage tags are placed on dead and or “unsalvageable”.
Extensive 2nd/3rd degree burns,
major open head trauma
multiple severe thoracic penetrating injuries
other major multiple trauma situations where significant sections of the body are ripped away/crushed.
As shitty as it might sound, many of these people are unlikely to survive transport and will require massive intervention requiring 3-4 people to work them when you only have a few people on the scene to work them initially. If these types of patients were the only patient in a situation some of them are worth a shot, but even then we are talking 20-30% odds of landing in the hospital still alive and many of those still dont make it through hospital ED or emergency surgical level intervention.
Yep. Old joke about “what’s the last thing that went through the bug’s mind when he hit the windshield?”
(You guessed it.)
It’s surely probable that Weir is (without saying so) citing this column by Cecil.
So, despite it being Cecil and all, she was effectively citing some broadly random shit on the internet.
