lie some help with medical terminology.

1. Stabilize head in case of spinal/neck
injuries
2. Get the person in a stretcher and
check for breathing and pulse
3. In er, they'll hook him up to ecg
monitor to monitor pulse, breathing and
blood pressure.
4. X-ray to rule out spinal/neck injury
5. Scan for brain to look for traumas.
