That is the kind of guy you would want if it was your kid but the guy who took
the clothes to use on the live kids was right but that would be a hard one to live with. I have heard about kids who were underwater in freezing conditions for 45 minutes and brought back to life.
Yup, he was motivated no question. From a medical rescue perspective even if the kids did have a chance of coming back in a couple hrs they needed ACLS care and a hospital with rewarming facilites. Evac was 10 hrs away. Limbs were freezing solid after we arrived, they had been down we guessed 6 hrs before. Loooong gone. It just took him some time to realize it.
It wasnt just clothes the other medic took it was entire hypothermia wraps to use on the other subjects. Even they succumed as once your core temp goes you need a warm water body cavity flush in a matter of minutes or its over eventually.
A true learning experience.
