Motor Vehicle Collisions

Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are seen to be very serious issues, as they are the second most common injury mechanism where emergency protocol is needed (Pereira, G. F et al. 2014). It raises concerns for major health issues that are associated with the incident. It is seen that car accidents can result to severe risk factor of traumatic brain injury. TMI highlights one of the bigger concerns related to head injuries. Jeffrey J. Bazarian (2004) says that traumatic brain injuries (TMI) are one the leading cause of death and long term disability. Personal response to an incident like a car accident may differ for every individual that undergoes such experiences. Friends and family might react to the situation differently, which may cause stress

E.Javouhey, et al. (2006), displays a variety of categories associated with sever traumatic brain injuries, some include brain stem and cerebellum injuries, skull fractures, and coma or complicated loss of consciousness. Therefore, the severity of the incident must be takin into account. Jeffrey J. Bazarian (2004) “the Insurance Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) found the traumatic brain injuries accounts for about 51% of deaths. Studies focused on road crashes believe that they cause about 40-60% of TBI injuries (E.Javouhey, et al. (2006). Not only are brain injuries a serious cause of death, but it is closely associated with physiological stress. The possibility of cognitive impairments, also affects the responses of a TBI-injured patient (G.Ilie et al.2015). Thus this might have altered the reactions the Ted was producing. Research demonstrates how car accidents can cause serious traumatic brain injuries demonstrating the portrayal of the doctors and friends reaction to the potential injuries to be accurate. However, the circumstances of communication between the doctor, friends and Ted may have been the result of Ted’s reaction to the incident. Doctors should quantify the communication that is implemented to the

In conclusion the risk of traumatic brain injuries that are caused from motor vehicle collisions should be stressed to the patient. Thus, taking into account all that is mentioned about brain injures due to motor vehicle accidents it is possible that assumptions of sever injury may be in question. According to Bazarian et al. since the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards rely on crash tests is limits the ability to simulate actual brain injury, demonstrating that the standards may not significantly protect the brain from impact, which suggests for risk of injury to the brain (2004). If there was a lower rate of traumatic brain injuries then the brutality of the motor vehicle injury would not need full examination like Ted would hope. However, since there are many different injuries that are associated with MVC, it is wrong to believe that there are only physical injuries related. Hospitals should constantly improve their communication skills, the modern technologies and standards should impose new demands on the regulation of their tests. Well-educated patient with good communication interactions may find themselves in depth conversations about the medical topic (Du Pre, Athena (2013). This displays that patients want to be knowledgeable and informed about the circumstances of their
