X 3

Today I worked a race, as do most sports medicine folks.
Someone actually tripped over a curb and that was our most serious injury.

We were going through some standard questions to assess mental status and we asked
"Who is the President?"
Standard question right?

Anyway they made a face and finally said "Obama" followed by
"Its not Obama that I have a problem with but who's next!"

I'd say that's alerted and oriented X 3.




Sidenote: The EMS guy was white but she was being helped by a Black female attending, an Asian female resident, a Black female med student, and a Black EMS lady as well. I wonder what its like as a person who is a part of the minority to look up in a time a distress and see that the people there to take care of her are all minorities?
