If the pelvis is fractured, doesn't that imply an MOI which could also damage the spine, ergo they should have stabilized the head for the lift? Can you ever "clear" a patient of spinal injury when they have a broken pelvis? During the exam, why didn’t he check the spine/neck?

This product, Save-A-Tooth, will preserve and protect an avulsed (knocked-out) tooth for up to 24 hours, giving you a lot more time to get to treatment. When stored in saliva, the teeth need to be reimplanted within 15 minutes to 1 hour, which in the wilderness is not a realistic timeframe. Please check this out, it will provide a great deal of protection if anyone camping or hicking knocks out a tooth.

Do they look the same, so you just have to guess that if some one is drinking a lot, but seems heat exhausted, they need to eat more? What would make you suspect an additional factor, such as an infectious disease? Thanks!

What does that combination look like--first degree frostbite and immersion foot? Is skin peeling off? I know you can't share too many details, but how, why did they end up outside barefoot!!!! late in the fall? How long will it take to tell if they are going to lose their toes?
