clue

Why is EMS putting  cervical collars on GSW patients?
Why would ANYONE at ANYTIME and ANYWHERE give a patient with a spinal cord  
injury any form of a steroid or apply hypothermia
Are we hurting more people than we are helping using cervical  collars?    
Are cervical collars in concept basically flawed

Maybe,   I am  checking out the data, the research, the  publications.   

On at least 5 times in the past, suggestions of the data  that I have seen  
has been a massive attack upon those who proposed  it and a running into  
obscurity.      

As soon  as the information is solid and truly evidence based, I will share 

it.     

I do remember how much many on this list  tried to assassinate me when I  
initially questioned MAST pants,  helicopter use for urban use, interosseus 

infusions, aggressive IV  solutions, hypotensive resuscitation, EC 
thoracotomy, 
CT vs arteriogram  for aortic injury, and many others.   I have deep  scars 
to  prove it.

Wouldn't  it be better for us and the patients we care for  if you  
shared the  information now?
