most people must be aware of all the evidence saying early mobilisation is
better than a soft collar for cute neck sprains. I have been teaching this
for some time but a recent departmental audit showed 50% of ac neck sprains
still get a collar, even though when confronted everyone says they rarely
give them out.
How can I change it ( or should I)?
Has anyone been brave enough simply to remove soft collars from the
department?
