Look, I'm not saying it doesn't happen sometimes with modern medicine, but we have much better ways of saving limbs now! While we're here it's better to wait and see what a doctor can do before, uh, worrying about dead weight.
[Morph finally rests back on the ground, more or less placated that Richard wasn't going to try cutting off their legs just to make dragging them around easier.]
So, moving someone is easier if you have a buddy. When you're on your own, there's a few things to remember. Don't do a bridal carry! It's very romantic, but you can't see your own feet and it's an easy way to trip. Grabbing someone under the arms and dragging them along with you works as long as you're not worried about what's behind you. Or if you have a blanket, you can roll the victim into that and use it to drag them along a lot easier.
If you need to outright carry someone... if the victim's conscious, there's one called a pack strap carry. You get the victim's arms over your shoulders, cross their arms over your chest, and hold onto their wrists as you lift them up by leaning forward. It can be uncomfortable, but that one might work the best for you.
[Since Richard has such a thin build, Morph didn't think the actual firefighter carry would work out for him. Hoisting a bigger person over your shoulders usually didn't end well.]
