RECENTLY the powers that be are finally making an effort to create a real system of gathering accident data at the scene of an accident. An on-going project still to be realized. (See Automotive Black Boxes).
In my 10+ years experience of going through the systems and trauma physicians and trauma professionals what has become glaringly obvious is that these poor professionals just have no education in the physics that are created when a catastrophic auto accident happens!
Do you think that these trauma professionals know how the energy from a catatstrophic impact can be absorbed and stored in the human body, creating invisible injuries? Even if they did, how can they assess the injured person in front of them?
Modern medicine refers to anything that is not bone as “soft tissue” when the muscle systems they are refering to is many, many times stronger than bone. What do they think really protects our bones?
As you read, the “Automotive Black Box” article please understand that even when/if they get ALL the correct data to the ER Trauma Team and even with the CIREN centers, the doctors and medical staff, respectfully are NOT EDCUATED or TRAINED in understanding the injury physics of an auto accident. Many of these injuries that also cannot be seen in any radiological tests and may not show up for months or years causing further mental and / or physical disabilities.
Please understand I do respect those doctors and medical staffs in they’re treating life-threatening injuries they are lifesavers and need to be commended. What I am concerned about is that old saying, “we cannot change what we are not aware of”.
A major goal of the C.A.I.R. Foundation is to make the public aware so that we can start demanding that there not only be changes in the automotive industry; and how important it is to communicate more information to the ER Trauma teams but also the types of information communicated and
that a change MUST take place in the medical community in order to change the way the “soft tissue” is viewed and how muscles react before, during and after a catastrophic accident.
The medical community must be educated and trained to understand the roles that the muscle systems, (soft tissue) truly has when they assess a catastrophic auto injury.
Please respond if you have any interest in helping get the word out or have an opinion!
Thank you for your interest!
