ya, i just found that wierd that they would make a patient who was having trouble breathing totally naked.

thank you all for your answers. they helpped alot. I was speaking to someone about my incident, he said the same thing happened to him once when he had an asthma attack. what i wanted to ask is, why on earth someone would have to be naked to be treated for an asthma attack. He had never had any occurance of asthma before, could this be why? Just a little curious, thanks.

they inserted the catheter, then gave me the ultra sound afterward without covering me.

I was in an MVA a month ago. Paramedics cut off my shirt, and strapped me on a backboard. When I got to the E.R, I was conscious, with no visible injuries, just a bit of a headache. Yet, I was almost immediately stripped completely naked. I laid there fully nude for what seemed like an eternity while I was examined. Then the nurse put a cup over my member and told me to pee. I wasn't able to, so they put a catheter in me. I asked them to cover me several times, but the trauma team refused, even when i was given an ultra sound i was not covered up. This just doesn't seem normal to me. Is this standard procedure or did I just get stuck with a bad trauma team. Please help me figure this one out. Thanks, Mark.
