If you do indeed work in emergency medicine, how is it you don’t know (or are unwilling to admit) that people who die from traumatic head injuries are rarely, if ever, organ donors?

Furthermore, would you be willing to admit you see far more traumatic head injuries resulting from auto accidents than motorcycle accidents?

Please cite your source. In my experience, people who die from traumatic brain injuries - especially (and unfortunately) young ones - are the prime source of organ donations. What ER do you work in?

I see lots of traumatic injuries from auto accidents but most are survivable. I see lots of very gruesome injuries from MC accidents and the worst ones I don’t see because they go right to the county morgue.

Sorry, you just can’t get around those pesky laws of physics.

Fact: Reckless drivers exist among both automotive and motorcycle riders.

For me, the concept of riding a bike among cars and trucks is like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
