An emergency nurse from the United States, Karlie Tooley, shared in a video the lessons she has learned after years of handling critical cases in hospitals.
According to her, there are practices that should be avoided to prevent serious accidents. Among them, she highlights the risk of riding a motorcycle, regardless of the rider’s experience, due to the high vulnerability in collisions with vehicles. Additionally, she warns about the danger of placing your feet on the car dashboard, as in case of an impact, this can cause severe injuries to the pelvis and hips.
Tooley also emphasizes the importance of never driving with a full bladder. According to her, car accidents in this state can cause bladder perforations, complications that can be avoided by using the bathroom before hitting the road. Experts confirm that improper use of the seatbelt, combined with the pressure of a full bladder, worsens injuries in collisions.
The nurse stresses that these precautions can save lives and prevent traumatic situations for both victims and their families.
