Clearing the Unclear C-Spine

Abstract

“Doctor, we need you to…”
We’ve all been there.
One day a ‘Dr’ appeared before your name, and along with the staggering enormity of all that you didn’t know, you were met with EXPECTATIONS. As you drifted around the hospital guzzling coffee and fielding bleeps, you had to deal with  whatever came your way, at least until you could find the long-suffering Med Reg.
“Clearing the C-spine” is one of the tasks we have all been faced with, and armed with an idea of the process, marched into the cubicle.
