In our country despite lot of efforts by Doctors,government and some
NGO's,to a very large extent we have failed in formulating standard
operating procedure(SOP) for handling medical emergencies .In context of
accident related reporting in the media,it is so common to read 'died
on the spot','brought dead',have we ever given a thought to what leads
to situation like this.In most of the accident cases,the victims just
don't get the crucial medical care,when they require it the
most.Generally the passers by are the first one's to offer aid.But
despite their best of the intention ,they can not provide the emergency
medical needed.Lot of time victim is immobolised because of the spinal
injuries and such an injury requires deft handling.This generally does
not happen.Sometimes it is seen that injuries suffered in the accident
are not as serious but the way they are transported to the nearest
healthcare centre,aggravates the problem. It is high time SOP's are
evolved and publicised through mass media.
