If you are islamabad based were the responders 1122 or CDA Cares. Ideally if the casualty is walking wounded the emt can walk him yet to ambulance.
They are taught rapid spinal board takedown for RTCs, I'm sorry you had a negative experience. If you ever experience any such issue in future please call 0333-3331122 and register a complaint. Make sure to note the road, and ambulance registration number plate number.

and I can confirm it was CDA and not PES......taxi was parked on the road side on main rawal road outside the main gate of Embassy Lounge Motel......a speeding bike came and crashed right into the Taxi, IP - Injured Person laid flat on the road, eyes wide open, but no movement.....he was lucky he had the helmet on, no outer injuries....decided to assist in first aid or atleast manage the casualty.....it was saddening to see that two Ranger jawans and two police constables or ASI may be from the nearby picket and n ITP patrol reached the incident site immediately but lack of basic training left them helpless.......it was so chaotic and no one called the Ambulance.......I had my mobile in car that was in Motel's parking....immediately I borrrowed the phone from someone in the crowd and called for Ambulance......same time checked the IP's breathing, he was non responsive initially..... followed the protocol and ensure his breathing was stable.....in few minutes he was responsive..... and got up......I felt really bad because he was in his 30s when he got up he said only one thing....I need to reach office.....m late....had to calm him down, checked him for any bleeding......it took Ambulance 20 minutes to reach the site and calling thrice.......but eventually I felt satisfied because the EMT followed protocol and before moving him onto a streached checked the IP for injuries.....
