Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hi All, I was in a car accident in Canada (where I live) and when I told the paramedics that I had AS, an attendant immediately came into the van and held my head until they could put me on a flat board and cut me out of the van. I had on a cervical collar at the time as I had a headache from my neck. I find that wearing the collar mitigates my headaches. They would not let me move at all until I had been seen by a doctor at the hospital. A couple of weeks later, I asked my neighbour, as he is a paramedic, what they would have done if I was unconscious and he said they treat all unconscious victims as though they had hurt their necks and backs. I guess they believe, better safe than sorry. And my neighbour also said that they did know what AS was. ~~~Faye~~~ AS and fusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
