Dr. Laughlin Lecture On Tuesday January 27 I attended a talk Dr. Laughlin gave at the Maypearl fire station. He first gave a little bit of back ground about the spine where the neck starts and ends and names of the bones. Pretty much just talking about each section and the names the whole section of the neck is called the cervical vertebrae and so on. After he gave us some background he began talking about different types of injuries that can occur to the spine during a car accident. He also talked about taking extra measures when treating someone because they could potentially have a serious injury.
