Thanks for the insight. A couple weeks ago I was in a car accident where the airbags deployed and I don’t remember the airbags coming out, but it was only for a second or two. I pondered if I should go to the ER but seemed okay otherwise (we all were thankfully). I’m glad it looks like I wouldn’t have needed a scan!
These protocols are definitely worth talking about and are essential to great care. I have spent a lot of time in a lot of hospitals in the US for work as well as for surgival procedures. Those hospitals that demonstrate thoughtful and current protocols for all sorts of procedures (hip replacements to infection control) , demonstrate better outcome, better prepared staff and usually better prepared patients. Moreover, have been in an ER as a patient and as a spouse and have been asked BOTH times about medication status, particularly blood thinners. I would BE surprised if it was not asked.
