Injuries With Increased Risk During Winter
Show: MomDocs
The coldest months bring along their own unique set of potential winter injuries. During winter, it's important for everyone to be extra cautious both indoors and outdoors. Not only do winter storms pose health hazards and dangers, but they can also make it challenging to reach an emergency room due to icy roads. Since most kids aren't used to dealing with winter throughout the year, their risk of getting injured may rise. Dr. Lindsay Clukies, a Washington University emergency medicine physician, discusses common winter injuries she sees in the emergency room.
