So yeah, just an update!

Certainly, I'm mastering the art of "unimpatience." The trickster red ink on my vacant calendar, circling today's date as if it were my birthday. My cake - a new X-ray - with wishing candles for weight-bearing permissions for July. But what's two more days when I've already waited forty-three? Alas, the surgeon is stuck in an airport somewhere and I'm stuck under this fierce blue sky. I'd say Ursula and I are the lucky ones today. I learn the arts of old age day by day: the expertise of being lame; the sense of unimpatient impotence; the irony of all accomplishments; the silent, furtive welcome of delay. - Ursula LeGuin

With regards to pelvis fractures - "Preserve clot [...] Punch anyone who tries to spring the pelvis"

"Preserve clot [...] Punch anyone who tries to spring the pelvis" Tim Coats

How are pre-hospital people treating pelvic fractures in your area?

Preserve clot - minimal movement, gentle handling, minimum of rolling.

Punch anyone who tries to 'spring' the pelvis. Fit pelvic belt on basis of mechanism of injury. Minimal iv fluidto preserve systolic of 70 (90 mmHg if associated head injury). Take to a hospital that understands the condition! Timothy J Coats MD FRCS FFAEM Senior Lecturer in Accident and Emergency/Pre-Hospital Care Royal London Hospital, UK.
