Failed GP Driver!

Here are a few statistics for you to ponder from research in the UK. The records of 22,858 patients were collected prospectively as part of the Trauma Audit Research Network (UK) Database (1993-2000). Of these, 2718 car occupants were involved in automotive trauma. Spinal injury occurred in 383 (14.1%) of car occupants. Victims were predominantly young men with a mean age of 37.8 years. The cervical spine was most commonly injured in car occupants Of course, if you have been paralyzed in a car accident, it does not mean you will never drive again. Hand adaptions allow even a high level injury to drive again, and adaptations are easily fitted to most cars.
