Abstract

The article describes the case of a vehicular accident patient who died because he did not undergo neurosurgeon based on the advise of the physician. Topics include the lack of trauma infrastructure of the doctors on duty, the reluctance of physicians to accept advice over the telephone, and the need for the speedy facilitation of urgent transfer of major trauma by consultants.
