Remember that traumatic injuries are not confined to other parts. Putting you feet on the dash of a moving car can end up in devastating pelvic injury. Those pts are not consented prior to surgery.

Working in an Er for decades I can tell you that I’ve seen dramatic injuries in the pelvic region that required life saving intervention on pts that were intubated and unable to sign. They would have died under this bill. For those putting your feet on the dash in a moving vehicle, that’ll do it.

I work as a prison Rn, had a young guy getting out of jail, immediately picked up by ICE at the doors. Thought he was going home to take care of his mom, being deported. But it seems that is a whole new jail sentence.
