Next time if you decide to help a road accident victim, do not sprinkle water on the unconscious injured person as this water may go directly to his lungs and cause pneumonia which might prove more fatal than the original injury.
In fact, there are several such wrong practices unwittingly followed by people while shifting road accident victims to hospitals, which sometime prove fatal. Against this background, Dr. Amar Chauhan of Ayushman Hospital in Gurgaon has launched an awareness campaign on the issue and plans to display over 5,000 laminated posters across the city to educate people on how injured persons can be transported safely to a hospital. |
