The pit of despair experiment is something paramedics become naturally familiar with over time. People lying on their backs after a major injury describe how quickly a feeling of loneliness can set in, just from staring at the sky, unable to turn their heads. Sometimes EMTs hand these people blankets or towels while they wait, regardless of warmth, and you often see people unconsciously hug the blankets to some degree. If you're in a situation when someone is trapped on their back like a turtle, just stepping into frame can be enormously comforting for them. It's great bedside manner when the bed is pavement or a neck-stabilizing stretcher.
