How do paramedics/doctors ensure they have covered everything (hard to see but major pain points eg. ruptured ear drum) on an unconscious crash victim before they wake up?
In:
They don’t, or they don’t immediately. The first step is always to stabilize the patient (don’t die). Stuff like ruptured eardrums can wait.
Once the patient is *stable and in a hospital* they can do a more exhaustive search for injuries utilizing stuff like x-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds.
