I work as a paramedic with a fire department in a large city. This scene was one of the most realistic gunshot wound scenes I’ve seen. Exposing the wound, covering it with a occlusive dressing and lifting the patient with the backboard is spot on. Once they get the patient into the ambulance, you can see Sean Penn starting a 14 gauge IV which is what we would do. They listened to lung sounds, and they noticed tracheal deviation and his lung collapsed so they drop a chest needle. They definitely did their homework on this movie.

I work as an emt for the fdny as well. This is one of the most realistic scene of a shooting depicted in a movie. From the bystander crowd yelling at you, to the more experienced emt yelling at the rookie to hurry tf up.

Intense. Gritty. Raw.

I work ems for fdny, usually we dont even have pd or additional units to spread out. Sometimes its multiple patients at once all by yourself for atleast 10 minutes

This movie reminds me of Colors the paramedic version but this time Sean Penn is the Veteran not the rookie

I made it into this scene at 3:33
