First, I'm not jumping on Dr. Holden, God only knows how I would react to a situation like that. His quick action no doubt helped many of the bus bombing victims. That said, here's an observation: He stated that he had no pen or paper and to wait for trauma lables to arrive. Now, he had just come out of an office building. Send some one in for notebooks, pens and a stapler. Why a stapler? To attach the trauma notes you write to the victim's clothing (regular tape is usless in this situation).

Again, I'm not trying to be critical - His technical training kicked in and served him well. But the "what do you do if x happens and you don't have y" training (even if it's just thinking it through) is important too. Which is precisely what forums like this provide.
