To mark World Head Injury Day, a team of doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners at St. John’s Medical College Hospital’s Surgical and Neuro Intensive Care Unit came together on recently to shed light on the grave consequences of neglecting road safety.
The event with the theme “Restoring Lives, One Patient at a Time” included poster competitions, skits, and mime acts that depicted the importance of adhering to government-led initiatives aimed at preventing head injuries.
According to a press release, the event utilised art and drama to penetrate the public psyche, making the complex medical subject of head injury not only accessible but also relatable. Live demonstrations illustrated the journey of head injury patients, from the moment of trauma to the intricate process of recovery within hospital walls, thereby emphasizing the crucial role of immediate and skilled medical intervention.
