Some years ago I rolled a tractor over on myself and had to be medevaced. My left leg was in jeopardy.

Consummate professionals in pink scrubs. Not a wasted motion as they stabilize you. No raised voices. No hint of how concerned or unconcerned your condition is causing them. Just conversational communication. As I was awake the whole time, they spoke to me directly, explaining what was happening. One of the RNs was charged with sort of being my concierge, mostly just keeping my wife and me informed.

All turned out well. The severed nerves mostly restored. No impact on my ability to walk. And a BODACIOUS scar. LOL

I have gratitude and great respect for them all.
