    Feivel,

    Sorry if you mentioned this earlier, are there any vaccines that you believe that should be mandatory?

    Some vaccines can wait while others put the child at unnecessary risk such as the pertussis vaccines.

    Physicians treat patients not symptoms, if you do not like the way your pediatrician manages your child’s health care, such as believing in vaccinations feel free to switch over to a different pediatrician.

    On the other hand, if you have a different belief on how your child’s health care should be managed then your pediatrician, your pediatrician has the right to exclude your child from their practice. Although it would be appropriate for your pediatrician to sit down and explain to you on why they believe in vaccinating children (as the CDC recommends doing) rather then just excluding the child from the practice.

    Most pediatricians I have bumped into are pretty reasonable, they usually agree in delaying vaccinations or giving them more spread apart.

    Also, there were some very reasonable posters with valid and reasonable concerns with regards to the current vaccination recommendations, however this is not the thinking of the main stream anti vaxxers, they are full of conspiracy theories and non sense.

    This IS a Halacha question and needs the psak of someone that is qualified to pasken.

    Also, doing your own research is a great way to keep yourself informed, do NOT rely on any online sites for diagnosis and treatment.

    Pomona is less of a community than Monsey. Yes there are Jews but they are sprinkled around on each block living among Non Jews, nothing wrong with that, but wouldn’t really call Pomona a community.

    Could be I do not know enough about you or the situation at hand or what is considered an appropriate relationship in your circles to even make a bystander comment, but you having non Jewish friends or taking rides with non Jewish Girls is no where the same as you befriending a boy that is in what you call a sad situation.

    The risk of him pulling you over to his ‘sad’ situation is probably greater than you being able to change him.

    I am in no position to really advise you on such sensitive subjects, however from the limited amount of information you posted you mentioned that this boy goes out with non jewish girls, yet you are for some reason convinced that you befriending him would draw him away from those girls and closer to yiddishkeit.

    now who says that you wont be drawn closer to his life, for me it appears that the risks outweight the benefits.

    In fact being between people, its more likely that you will be pulled into his world then the other way around.

    Mr Health,

    Your the only one here calling themselves a medical professional, we were just calling you out on your ignorance, not using this in any way as a step ladder or claim on having any medical degree.

    Your head is so wrapped around this online profile of yours claiming to be a medical provider and attacking anyone that questions or asks what type of provider you are. Yet you do not have any basic understanding on how medicine is practiced or medical research is done. You are fooling no one but yourself.

    There is no point in discussing anything with someone that will never admit that they were wrong and that always will have the last word.

    Health is not even good at twisting the facts and the literature in his favor in fact he doesnt even point to the places where one would research emergency medicine data.

    Are you for real?!

    Give sugar for a comatose trauma patient? I guess TBI is of no concern to you?!

    Unresponsive Trauma patients do not come in to the ER with Dextrose bags hanging or with narcan on board. In fact there is no coma protocol in EMS (at least NY and the surrounding states) EMS should assess and if they find a problem refer to the appropriate protocol as a guideline and treat accordingly.

    All changes if there is an indication or detailed assessment (which should be done in route to the trauma center) reveals underlying medical issues. Then again, EMS should not administer Narcan for the comatose patient that has a patent airway and is spontaneously breathing, there is nothing wrong with an overdosed patient that is sleeping, but the same cannot be said with the patient that has internal injuries or massive brain trauma that can only be corrected in the OR.

    The more you post, the more evident it is that you are very unfamiliar with the entire preshopital and in hospital emergency medicine approach.

    I think that this thread is a very important thread, when someone establishes themselves as a medical provider and provides medical advice it is very important to expose them for who they really are.

    Its one thing to have an informative discussion (which I dont think this blog is made for, there are a lot of other blogs in which cases are presented and debated geared towards people involved in medicine) yet dangerous when one has an online persona as a medical authority so whatever they write should be accepted at face value.

    If there is any reason to believe that the cause and underlying issue is medical, pt would be treated medically. That goes for opiod suspicion with respiratory depression and for example seizures.

    As I mentioned, trauma is not an illness (there are rare condition and syndromes that are the exception) there should always be a suspicion of an underlying medical. Especially if the presentation does not fit the mechanism of injury. No one should be a cookbook provider, each and every patient is different and so is each scenario. EMS always looks for clues they are like the eyes and ears of the ER and play detective in trying to put together the puzzle. The trauma team relies a lot on the information the first responders have.

    The entire note that EMS should change what they are doing is wrong, EMS now days follow evidence based medicine, gone are the days they did stuff that made sense. Its all based on the data at hand. so when someone comes and makes the claim that he is someone with medical credentials yet undermines the entire system, shows who he really is NOT.

    Also, it’s important to point out, in an MCI it’s one patient per crew the care the pt gets is the same in a single car mva as would be in an MCI.

    So for those that claim to be knowledgeable enough to teach others.. And wrongly pointed out that by a multi car accident there will be to many patients to be able to focus on possible Medicals, resources are based on the need and most ems systems can manage to have multiple crews if needed

    Rebyidd, reminding you to always make sure the patient is not allergic to the hair before applying it.

    Btw, whoever mentioned narcan for AMS, really doesnt know emergency medicine, assuming that the only presenting medical is AMS the patient should NOT get narcan, as long as the patient as a patent airway and spontaneously breathing with no cardiovascular compromise.

    Now if that same trauma patient is not breathing, please dont reach for the narcan, just secure the airway as the distraction and the time wasted for the drug administration might waste precious minutes, instead make sure the trauma team has been notified and do rapid transport.

    Further more, the patient that is apneic from opoids (hence the narcan you mentioned) would first have an altered mental status and would have crashed their car much sooner.

    Before you start lecturing others on your anecdotal findings make sure you know what your talking about, its never to late to begin med school.. As I pointed out previously, emergency medicine is (hopefully) not your specialty.

    What would you do if you witnessed someone ‘bump’ someone else’s bumper and left a dent in the other persons car.

    Assuming that you can do more than just tell, like have footage of the bumping incident.

    What if the person that bumped the car was a driver, and he might lose his job if this came to light?

    Should you just move on with your day or get involved and contact the owner of the car that has been bumped?

    Before I throw in the towel I will post this very last response.

    Mr Health, you are a big fool! since you are using personal insults as a response, you have no clue who I am or if I have any degree in medicine. So to answer your question, Why I think that you have no experience in emergency medicine, that is because you have established a fact, pushed everyone to the ground and resorted to personal insults YET ARE UNABLE TO SIMPLY POINT TO THE SOURCE!!

    Just in case you are interested, MVAs (single and Multi car MVAs) are all included in the Trauma category, as with all trauma Pts the providers should (if appropriate) rule out any possible medical causes. this has nothing to do with your statement of a single car accident.

    In no way does a single car accident require one to do more of a medical assessment than a multi car accident would. Trauma is trauma, every trauma has something that caused it as the trauma itself is not an illness (with rare exceptions), therefore all providers should look for possible medical causes, regardless of the type of MVA. The argument that with multi car accidents one patient might have the medical problem and the other one is the one that got hit, changes nothing in assessment.

    One last thing, since you seem to have missed it from my previous post, please stop sending people to previous posts, if you have something to respond just write it.

    Have a happy Chanukah.

    Health,

    From your posts its noticeable that you are not experienced in emergency medicine.

    The fact that you found a sentence in some EMT book stating, Trauma are there medical causes, has nothing to do with an MVA and of course not with a single car MVA vs multi car.

    One last thing, when responding to a post, dont send me to a previous post or other page, if you take the time and energy to respond to every little post questioning your credentials or statements, please respond with actual substance.

    There would be a huge difference, between a one car MVA with just one pt than with multiple cars.

    If there are a lot of pts, it would be an MCI, assessment and treatment are much different, the unresponsive traumatic arrest pt in a one pt MVA would get treated, in an MCI that pt would be tagged Black and not be treated as well.

    Mr Health, the probability is your own logic, is there any studies or assessment protocols that state this?

    in reply to: Treatment #1116846
    2scents
    Participant

    No difference, the EMS protocols in NY and surrounding states make no differentiation between single or multi car MVA, same is with the in hospital trauma assessments.

    However it could very much be that more single car crashes are the result of an underlying medical, yet this does not make any two car MVA to be excluded from this suspicion.

    in reply to: Treatment #1116834
    2scents
    Participant

    That is purely your own logic, but there is no difference in real life on assessing a pt of a one car crash vs multi.

    Health care providers will always make sure that there is no underlying medical problem once the apparent threats to life are taken care of.

    Assessment is ALWAYS, ABCs, airway (patent or established), Breathing (spontaneous or Positive Airway Ventilation and Make sure there are no signs of tension Pneumo), Circulation (control any bleeding, and maintain MAP of at least 60)

    Depending on the findings, further assessment is done according to the situation. For example if pt is is still unresponsive after stabilizing ABCs , BGL 12 lead and if possible Neuro exam.

    The same is for Patients from a one car or multi car MVA. the fact that you believe (and could very be true) that pts from single car MVAs are more likely to have an underlying medical that caused the accident does not change the assessment or treatment at all.

    Regardless of the fact if there is suspicion of a medical, the receiving facility will level the trauma accordingly, if necessary consider CT Scan, FAST if suspicion of internal injury and have sub specialties as needed and resources the facility has.

    this is a cookbook scenario, of course each case is different and should be assessed and treated accordingly but in reality there is no difference in the amount of cars involved.

    Thats incorrect, there is no protocol that states any difference in a one or multi car accident. the fact that you believe that there is a higher suspicion that there is an underlying medical problem that caused this accident is not relevant, since the same suspicion should be when assessing a multi car MVA.

    in reply to: Treatment #1116822
    2scents
    Participant

    Feivel that is not correct, first as Popa pointed out, all of these factors can be the cause of a multi car MVA.

    Also, assuming its a trauma pt unless there is reason to believe that there is a medical cause, pt will not get a medical workup such as 12 lead, especially if its a multi system trauma pt.

    All of that changes if there is suspicion of a medical cause.

    To answer your original question.

    By maintaining and securing ABCs. Taking spinal precautions loading the pt and transporting to a trauma center.

    Large bore iV in route. Other treatments would be splinting, needle d, as needed.

    In hospital, based on the MOI and injuries a level 2 or 1 trauma will be called with sub specialties called as needed.

    The same is done if it’s a one car MVA or multi car. One difference would be if another pt in same car died, it will automatically be upgraded to a level 1 trauma. But that goes under the category of MOI.

    Is there something specific your asking?

    There is no difference in treating a pt that was involved in a one car accident vs a multi car accident, unless it becomes an MCI which means that the pts get triage’d and treated according to their injuries.

    If you truly want an answer you must give a more detailed scenario.

    No different than a pt from a multi car accident.

    If you are referring to EMS (usually the ones treating pts at car accidents), after making sure they are safe, ABCs and transport to an appropriate facility.

    Being that I am very familiar with the process of most sites that were doing IV, some had the IV lock inserted before Yom Kipur, others had a non Jew establish the line on Yom Kipur.

    No one had a Yid establish the line on Yom Kippur, most poskim hold that creating IV access is a ???????? and any patient that is sick enough that requires IV should probably not be fasting.

    Getting flashback while creating IV confirms IV placement so its not really a mekalkel.

    As posted above, most places that did IVs only did it after making sure that the person consulted with their doctor as well as their rav.

    People that are not able to fast do not get IV,IV fluids is just normal saline not other nutrients that they need.

    Its mainly done to help people that would otherwise fast, yet have a difficult time fasting, keeping them hydrated makes it easier for them to fast.
