hello Guys

Listen, currently I am writing my MA thesis in specialist translation and exactly I will be writing an English-Polish dictionary of Medical Rescue. One of its sections is Fixed Pharses that paramedics use in their work. What I mean is certain utterances, phrases that are standard and used in particular situations. Maybe you have got some phrases like that to communicate with each other on the scene of an accident, or maybe there are certain phrases that you use to communicate with the injured. Like, what's the first thing you say when you approach one, just to check if he is conscious? If you could think of such utterances, it would significantly facilitate my work and make it more interesting. Thanks for all info

take care
Tomek
