Yup, you're probably right..a lot of people end up at trauma centers, then their injuries are determined to be not worth it.

Why? Well, its simple...Paramedics and EMTs do not have x-ray machines. They do not have CAT scans or MRI's either. They do have the knowledge that, based on how an injury occured, a person may have a good chance of having a critical injury that just isn't obvious.

Would you take the chance?

No, I would not want to take the chance, but in my son's case, he was alert and was even able to give his vital information, name, address, DOB, telephone and his SS#! That tells me the boy did not have a serious head injury.
