ATLS

I (non-clincian) was roused two nights ago from my bed to head a first-responder for multiple trauma in a subject

my assess but don’t move impression =
HI + concussion
?bleed rear skull
cervical, lumbar and femoro-pelvic serious trauma

put out crash call
PM crash team arrived 45 min at 10.35pm when I stepped down

24 post-trauma surgery outcome = stable

Thanks Kambiz for my ATLS participating non-clinician Trauma Auditor opportunity years ago even to critical airway trachæ on bio-tissue

Zeal and alarm can easily derail first-responder ATLS if basic principles fail

Admiration and gratitude for good UK Trauma Medicine and ATLS clinical trainers worldwide

I used my Leica M as a note-taker in pre-smartphone era and thanks Geo D Med Illustration and Photog for processing and printing film

These are now clinico-cultural archivable treasure but no less pedagogic and pragmatic today! Wow! Wow!

UK Trauma Med at its best is awesome.
