| Well done for getting involved, by the sounds of it you did absolutely everything you could! It amazes me how many times we turn up to jobs to find a crowd around someone and no one even trying to help in the least way, not even putting the patient in the recovery position!
As for your "bullet points," i have to agree with all of them. For me the most important "post" incident action is to talk about it, talk to anyone who will listen, talk to someone who knows a bit about "the job" (me if you like!) We in the job talk about incidents all the time, it's our coping mechanism. Of course sometimes it's gallows humour that gets us through but if thats what it takes then thats what it takes.
I don't mean this in a patronising manner but well done again!
