And he wasn't there. Who knows what the communication was between all involved... That were there at the crash site.
Because everybody thinks their a expert when they are watching on TV and feel they need to shit on the Medical crew or Flaggers or Feld, never seen a sport when all the so called fans need shit on everything they see. The sport does not need those idiots.
Who cares what he said. He definitely got nailed right in the spine. They certainly did not try to get him to lye down and have him not move. The definitely removed him from the track on the mule, why would they not immobilize him like is the standard in any similar situation in any other sport.
Before they got dude on that fancy stretcher, did they put The Magic Spray on his "injury" first?

Bro......you know back when you were racing he'd been having a beer at the truck waiting for LCQ. Hope he's ok.
Go home. You’re drunk.
Sober up and come back tomorrow to apologize for making such an ass of yourself.
Webb should have been immobilized and on a backboard after that type of impact.
I agree with th OP on protocol.
It needs improvement.
Backboards and neck braces just look good to the UNTRAINED eye. I can spot a broken neck from a mile away in my ER waiting room. If it's actually broke the the patient will be holding it completely still, they don't need a neck brace or back board to do it. The up-to-date research is showing that it's just a waste of time. But sure, you know more than they do.
No you can't. It's much better to take proper precautions and get imaging. https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/ryan-dungey-out-with-cracked-vert…
Dungey was racing on a c6 fracture. You can not spot these things from "a mile away" You also can not just ask the racer if they are ok. They need to take precautions and get an image. Dungey could have easily been in a wheelchair and he was still out riding the bike
I cannot believe some of yous are still trying to defend what happened with Moreau. It was an absolute disgrace the way they treated him . I really hope all that were involved were fired . As for the Webb crash it's different imo . It's depends alot on what the rider is saying. I don't see to much wrong in the way they handled it . But the Wilson one last year is another balls up
Bro if you’re an actually paramedic then post your P#.
What is your deal man. Why are you always so vitriolic.
So triggered. Such a strong opinion and apparently projecting on the license bit. Guess he told you didn't he.
Reddit moment with the 'appropriate' shaming and ineffective sarcasm. Poes law. Honestly can't tell if you're serious or sarcastic. I'm guessing sarcastic sadly.
Not really sure what the downvotes are about… hard to argue that he shouldn’t have been placed on a board and had his neck stabilized. That hit was brutal
It's okay we live in a credentialist society now. The fat DoH director knows better than you what's good for you and what's not because title.
Asking someone with a title for their rationale and support is like heresy. Like you're disrespecting the tribe's witch doctor.
This is what I came away with from reading this. You can disagree with OP on whatever, but to blatantly go against him on that situation just because you disagree with the original post is absolutely insane. Moreau’s legs were completely limp as they were dragging him onto the mule
Does anyone know if SX uses the Xray imaging equipment every football stadium has in cases of potential injuries like this? or do they transport to hospital for assessment?
Pit Row
Does anyone know about not automatically putting a patient onto a back board?
It's a thing.
Do your work.
The Alpinestars medical trailer has an X-ray machine.
All I know is that that hit was intense, and I was incredibly surprised that they didn't immobilize his neck immediately.
The fact that he could walk isn't conclusive. I had a spinal cord injury 6 months ago. I was fine immediately after. 24 hours later I couldn't walk, nor use much at all on my left side.
I understand that Webb would've tried everything to continue (and win the championship), but sometimes the rider simply needs to be told no.
I hope he's alright.
I got MOST control back BTW.
Lot of TV doctors here. Best to stop race and evacuate whole stadium.
You do realize it's completely possible to break something in your neck, and to have it have absolutely no involvement with the spinal cord, right?
I work in the er for a living as well and you know that's a bs statement. I have seen on more than one occasion where a person ended up having fractures of the neck that you would have never suspected.
My biggest complaint is that if you are gonna go thru the trouble up putting on a collar at least try to do it right. With today population that can be hard (fat, no-neck)
If we only prevent one Brian Moreau isnt that worth the protocols?
I have to admit, I was stunned they didn't even put a neck brace on him. I don't judge too harshly and figured they know better than me. But I definitely had that 😬 face going on
I shattered 3 vertebrae. Thought i broke my sternum because it was very hard to breathe.
This is true but it "can" make it more unstable. We are talking about the neck. You get it wrong and we talking about being a quad. You work in the ed? Then you have seen these quads come in for treatment (chronic utis, bed sores, infections, sepsis, etc). That is not a life id want to live or anyone that ive ever met.
If we only save one or prevent onefrom worsening, its worth it to me. No disrespect meant. Trust im so over bs patients too its hard to not just become jaded and wave off most er visits. Burnt beyond belief over here on this couch.
Left a travel assignment in cali 2 months and aint worked since. No hurry to start back either.
I work for vital now (for free) assessing pts from the couch!! Sunday morning qb'ing
Spi, just for the record, I'm not a medical expert in any way, but I don't think you're wrong here. I was shocked at the handling as well, but I guess the Alpinestar medical crew is now the third rail of Supercross. It is entirely possible that they are both good at what they do, but made or make the same mistake here.
Post a reply to: On track Alpinestar medical crew does nothing, spinal chord injury is serious
