The motor sports I am involved in requires a good knowledge of the regional hospitals in the areas we go to , quite often in country towns , not equipped for the trauma we encounter , an example was the Supercross at Moree this year where the regional hospital was inundated with trauma patients to the point that the event was stopped just after lunch. We had approximately 14 seriously injured patients where fixed wing and helicopter was deployed to transport to major hospitals when the local hospital was simply unable to cope with the volume and degrees of trauma
