Admit it. You thought we’d stopped reading local blogs, and you thought, therefore, that you’d have to start reading them yourself. Not true. Ye of little faith.
Today’s excerpt comes from GruntDoc, an emergency medecine physician in Fort Worth. The excerpt is short and comes from a post titled “A Day When I Love my Job“:
Obvious limb fracture. Fluids given, initial CXR shows all but the third rib broken on one side, bilateral scapular fractures, C2/3/4 fracture, astonishing pelvic fracture with bladder injury due to the markedly displaced acetabular fracture. Bilateral chest tubes, fluids, and off to the scanner.
I think I can speak for the patient when I say: ouch!
