| "Seems to me the medics in question treated you by the book. But at the same time they got carried away. Since you fell and did hit your head you probably should have been c-spined and backboarded like they did. In my opinion it was completely ridiculous to cut your clothes off and make you "trauma naked." That is usually reserved for severe trauma patients to expose injury, aid in hospital assessment, and to find any other injuries." — MTmedic |
