Prompt Medical Care After an Accident

Posted on May 13, 2009 by Martin Solomon

Many times immediately after an accident, even though a person is injured, the adrenalin rush minimizes any pain. Because of this condition, individuals requiring emergency care may postpone obtaining treatment.

Within a day or two after the accident, pain otherwise absent begins to appear.

This delay in diagnosis and treatment can result in increased injury, prolonged care and rehabilitation.

In addition, it may appear to the untrained observer that an injury should be present immediately after an accident and therefore any delayed appearance means that the injury has been manufactured.

The lesson to be learned is that anyone involved in an accident should be seen at a hospital emergency room or by a family physician as soon as possible.

Remember, early evaluation and treatment can avoid costly and painful consequences.
