Our first trauma together.

Pedal Cyclist.
Pissed.
Wearing helmet? who knows.
Would have been doing Thirty kph easy.
Tried to mount a kerb at this speed.
Has gone over the handle bars and surfed along the footpath on his face!

On our arrival,

He's sitting on the footpath with tissues on his face.
The entire right zygoma region is just one HUGH abrasion.
Five bottom teeth are handed to us, intact so he might be lucky.
A few other little lacerations,

and

The bottom lip is in two separate pieces, all the way down to the bottom of the gum!
And it looks like it has been ripped or worn away not a neat laceration.

Easy enough to treat but it's the first one with this Padawan and it's always interesting to see how they re-act and respond.



Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
