Thinking about it, this is probably the only industry where you can't say 'gently caress that' and walk away from the problem:

IT: gently caress that: format and reinstall
Construction: gently caress that: condemn it and tear it down
Automotive: gently caress that: write it off
Nuclear Power: gently caress that: seal it in concrete
Veterinary: gently caress that: Tell Timmy that Freckles has gone to live on a farm and call a lasagne company.

It doesn't really apply to trauma care but there is a degree of gently caress that and walk away in chronic or terminal illness care where the expected benefit of a treatment doesn't outweigh the cost. Insurance companies have what are pretty much exactly the death panels everybody was worried the government would have if we socialized medicine even a little bit because guess what, insurance is still socialized medicine and there needs to be a check to make sure treatment is worth the cost or else you run out of treatment money in the shared pool.

Or like how HIV is treatable and hepatitis C is curable, if you aren't poor.

A few more details, from here. You need an account to view and fair warning, it's a site for sharing medical cases, so expect the sort of stuff you'd find on a site like that.

quote:

A 25-year-old female unrestrained passenger in a motor vehicle collision presented to the trauma bay with extensive injuries. A trauma work-up revealed a traumatic brain injury with intracranial hemorrhage, a traumatic eye injury requiring enucleation, and extensive facial fractures. This CT shows her completed facial reconstruction. Thanks to a dedicated multidisciplinary team, the patient is now ambulatory and recovering well.

So yeah, she lost the eye. Bone heals crazy well compared to a lot of our other issues, it's just fairly slow about it. The trick is to keep things immobilized and provide a framework to ensure it all reforms correctly.

Another, slightly less drastic case.

quote:

Cyclist fell and hit their head on road. Le Forte 2 fractures. Pt transported to hospital. Follow up still being done.




I assume she was wearing a helmet. Otherwise, her whole frontal bone would probably look a lot like her right orbit.

Certainly not an expert, but that looks like a crash without a helmet. Cycling helmets worn properly should protect the upper edges of the eye socket. I'm guessing she wasn't wearing one and came down on her right cheek and eye. She probably still would have a broken face, but the upper parts of the eye socket would have been saved.

I had a crash on pavement at ~30mph and my head hit the pavement hard enough to completely crater the left side of my helmet and my noggin was fine. If I wasn't wearing it I would have had a similar looking skull.

Industrial workers should carry guns and be trained to shoot their boss in self-defense if they feel they are implementing unsafe policy. Also supervisors or co-workers bypassing lockouts should be grounds for shooting in self defense.

Right! I fall somewhere between truck and taxi drivers, would it be all right for me get a mad maxed-up concrete mixer work truck and just kind of let whatever happens happen?

Insurance would ruin me.

E: Come to think of it, I did know a delivery guy that bought it in an accident while working. Leaving his last stop of the day, he took a right at a triple turn lane on the inside lane. The car in front of him cut the semi next to him off, the semi swerved left and toppled the whole trailer right on top of his pickup and trailer. I talked to him earlier in the day, he said he was going to finish early. Should have made it a lazy day. The OSHA here is driving in South Florida.

The fatality rates of anyone that's got a lot of road presence is a clear relationship of A) how exposed they are on the road and B) how much they are on the road. No surprise that garbage and recycling collection is the top of that group and truck drivers aren't too far behind.

As for Police, by far they're killed more by traffic accidents or being struck by another car during a traffic stop than by being shot.

Most everything else is a measure of 'How quick can something stupid kill you'

I can see that this machine is obviously purpose built for this task, but what exactly is this task?

It seems to be undercutting the top of a landslip to ensure that there's another landslip, which doesn't seem like the sort of job that comes up very often.
