The family physician and facial trauma from road accidents.
The family physician must feel concerned with the growing number of facial trauma from road accidents.He must play his role in prophylaxy by contributing to public education, about both the danger of driving under the influence of alcohol, and the usefulness of seat belts for facial protection. He must also know everything about first aid to traffic casualties, mostly right at the accident spot: not only the heroic gestures which will save lives and permit wounded people to reach the hospital, but the principles of facial traumatology, in order to protect both the fragile structure of the face, and its esthetic qualities.
