Hi, good afternoon.
Yeah, correct the matter.
That's right.
Yeah, no, unfortunately, I didn't get to hear any of the programme thus far.
But that said...
We see accidents resulting in injury on a daily basis.
We did publish on this late last year, in October last year.
We did a two-year analysis of the patients that attended our department.
What my colleagues found is that we had about 400 patients that attended.
This is just an e-scooter accident.
We had about 400 patients that attended in that two-year period.
About a tenth of those or maybe even up towards 15% of those required an admission and one in 10 of them required surgery.
We do see the whole kind of sequelae when it comes to injuries from head, chest, torso and limb injuries.
The vast majority of the people that we see injured from an e-scooter were in possession of it, were riding it, but one in ten were pilling in passengers, so they're being caught up as well.
We do, unfortunately, see pedestrians just in this area around Dorset Street, we do see pedestrians that are hit by e-bikes and e-scooters, again, on a pretty regular basis as well.
Yeah, I think it's an exception when we see a patient who is wearing anything from a personal protective equipment point of view, helmets, I think our experience is that by and large, even though they wouldn't come into the hospital with the helmet, but what we've been told by our
pre-hospital colleagues would be that by and large people don't wear helmets, yeah.
Yeah, unfortunately, we've definitely seen, and I've seen throughout my career, catastrophic head injuries that we think could be prevented with the use of a helmet.
Unfortunately, I can think of cases where people have had a blow to the side of the head as a result of hitting something when they hit the ground, whether it's like a curb or whether it's something that might be on the ground hitting the side of their head, and that is a preventable injury if they have got a helmet.
We've also seen the helmets themselves when people come in where somebody might be cycling,
