Episode overview

About this episode

In this episode, we break down why low-impact trauma in geriatric patients is anything but low risk. From hidden internal bleeding to delayed presentations and undertriage, we talk through the clinical red flags, communication challenges, and field decisions that can make all the difference. This isn’t just about trauma—it’s about changing the way we see and serve our most vulnerable patients.
