Stan told Ray that when he got out, he'd have a great story to tell to pick up women.
After Stan said goodbye to his wife, Sara, they started to open the rig. However, Stan had them stop because he saw an oxygen regulator imbedded in Ray's back and knew he'd die if they moved him. They knew he had a cardiac tamponade, so they brought out everything they needed and planned to stabilize him in the ambulance before moving him. After he saw that Stan had died, Ray started to panic, but they told him he needed to remain still so he wouldn't do more damage. Meredith said she could crawl into the ambulance to do the pericardiocentesis. ("Crash Into Me, Part 1")

They told him it was okay to be scared and then inserted the needle to remove the blood.
