It's just standard procedure to cut of the victim's clothes when rescue is there and has to back board you and do an extraction. They do that so to check for hidden injuries. I just kept having trouble keeping the air bag stuff and broken teeth out of my air way. I was done discretely in the ambulance. I am black and blue all over. But I am ok. The removal of the clothes was nothing. No problem. Not having clothes to go home in was a little fridgid. A johnny, scrub pants, and a blanket. oh well, that's in the past.It came out well. Take care.
