This is perhaps the most anatomically awesome thank-you card we have ever received.

Male motorcyclist involved in accident….and I think you can see from looking at the card exactly1what his injuries were:

“To all the emergency staff who worked on ‘M’. To the Ambo’s and all the helpful nurses for saving our father/husband/me….
‘E’: Thought you would recognize him better with the diagram on the front”

For someone to take the time to prepare a card like this is so appreciated by the ED staff.
Thanks to M and his family!

    I hope it is on display for others to see (whilst maintaining privacy regulations of course),
    would be good for others waiting to see!

    • ofelia said: Never heard about MAP before today, I had been taking medication for high blood pressure for10 years, until I found a Dr. that told me that I could get rid of the pills with alternative medicine, been off the pills for three months now, and there are days that I worry about my readings, even though most of them are within normal...

    • John said: It’s not a failure of leadership but a plan to destabilize our medical system and fully privatize it. No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
