Hi All, Acting on a suggestion by Dr. Arnob, Dr Sanket is proposing a discussion on Trauma Management.
One of the risks that we face as bikers is of accidents. Yeah, we hope and pray that they never happen, but we are not always lucky. As such it is always better to be prepared for the worst. Dr Sanket is planning a session for Mumbai/Pune folks for now (as he is mumbai based) and then onto different cities as and when it can be done. The following is the plan ( please make suggestions if you think that something will be important) : - Seriousness of injuries : Which injuries need a doctor's attention immediately, and which we can afford to wait. - What to do when there is no help nearby - How to stabilize a wound or fracture till you get help. - What you need in an emergency kit A bit about Dr. Sanket in his own words: "Dr. Sanket J. Kawli 26/M r/o Mumbai and workin in the Accident & Emergency Dept of P.D. Hinduja National Hospital, Mahim as a Casualty Medical Officer for almost 3yrs. I have been ridin since 2004 whn i bought my 1st bike which was a P 180 and which i sold off recently ie 3/4 mths back due to engine and handling issues. plannin to buy a zma shortly as m into touring although hav not done any solo rides hav done many grp rides, some 500+ km/day. i used to ride with Prasad Temkar, Deepak Dongre & Parimal Deshpande who r not just my riding buddies but also my best friends and also members on BN & BP." Please feel free to pass on this message, and stay tuned for further updates. Regards, Vibhu on behalf of Dr Sanket
