Get A Brain Already

I had JUST commented last night to the girl I was working with, that "quad" season had started. I was looking in the emergency room program while searching for patients, and noticed that there were 2 adults coming in, one for a quad accident and one for a dirtbike.

Then I read that a 10 year old was killed today on, surprise surprise, a quad.

Parents, grab a freaking brain. Don't let your children operate a machine that is 10 times heavier than they are without supervision. Do you realize what it does to their little bodies when it flips?

PUT A HELMET ON YOUR CHILD. But you know what? When that 600 lb machine crushes their little chest, its not going to really help a whole effing lot.

Did I rant about this already last year? I am sure I have.What is really scary is that every night during the summer, I see that there is someone in emerg for a quad injury. I work in one hospital. ONE.

Quads are not toys to give your 10 year old to go for a spin with. They are incredibly powerful machines that adults have a hard time controlling properly. W....T....F people.

Rant over. Sigh. I hate that summer brings out the stupids. And they all end up at my work.
