00:00The 64-year-old Aida is the woman in the video.
00:06According to her cousin, Marites, the victim came from their relative.
00:12She was sent home by accident.
00:15When she got home, she stopped.
00:18Until she was walking, there were no jeeps, motorbikes, or tricycles.
00:24She crossed the road and was already on the side.
00:26When she was on the side, she suddenly fell down.
00:34In a fit of anger, she fell down on the side of the road.
00:39Her left leg was badly injured.
00:45I jumped on the side because she was already on the side when she fell down.
00:49The only thing that hurt her was her injured leg and hand.
00:56When we arrived there, we saw Aida lying on the side.
01:02She was conscious, but her leg was injured.
01:09Her leg was fractured.
01:11When she was in an accident, the residents arrived.
01:15The police called an ambulance and took her to Region 1.
01:24According to Dr. Jeza Marie Lim, the general surgeon who examined Ms. Aida,
01:28she was forced to join a operation called an open reduction with application of external fixators.
01:36This is the placement of steel in the affected ligament that will serve as the bone of Ms. Aida.
01:43It also depends on the type of collision.
01:48For example, if the collision is high velocity or low velocity,
01:52it is usually the long bones that are affected,
01:57such as extremities and fractures.
02:02Meanwhile, the accident was immediately reported to the police.
02:09Actually, someone called our police station that there was an accident in Barangay Malabago.
02:18The rider who was in an accident with Ms. Aida immediately surrendered and appealed to the victim's family.
02:25Our rider was rushed to the hospital in Mapandan.
02:32When the rider appealed to the victim, they promised to shoulder all the expenses of the victim.
02:40He talked to us nicely and he said that he will not neglect his obligation.
02:48According to the doctor, in this accident, it is possible for the victim's bones to be fractured,
02:54just like what happened to Ms. Aida.
02:56If there is a fracture in the bones, we stabilize it when it reaches the emergency room.
03:05Especially if it is a long bone fracture prone to blood loss.
03:10If we immobilize the affected ligament,
03:15there is a high chance that we will be able to save the affected ligament.
03:23In addition to fractures in the bones, the patient may also have a serious head injury.
03:30If there is a fracture in the spine or a fractured bone,
03:37we refer it to the specialists operating in our neurosurgeons' rooms.
03:43It depends on the degree of decrease in the patient's sensorium level.
03:52The doctor advised that if an accident like this happens,
03:57the victim should not be brought to the hospital.
04:00They should just call for help and wait for the emergency response team.
04:05Ideally, it is better for our first responders,
04:08our rescuers to be trained to evaluate the patient with regards to GCS,
04:15and if there is an active TB, so that they can control if there is bleeding.
04:22The police advised the pedestrians to cross the road properly.
04:27When the pedestrians cross the road,
04:31we should look to our right and left,
04:36even to our back, so that we can avoid this kind of incident again.
04:42For motorists and riders, it is better to avoid driving in a straight line.
04:48Observe speed limit.
04:50When they are already drunk, they should not drive any vehicle to avoid accidents.
04:56They should be more careful.
04:59Especially when an accident happens, they should just cross the road smoothly.
05:06Meanwhile, the operation he underwent was completed,
05:10and the steel in his left eye was also installed.
05:14I messaged Atty. Leda,
05:17hoping that his recovery will continue,
05:20so that he can return to his former vigor.
05:23At present, Ms. Ida is slowly recovering from the accident.
05:32As a reminder to motorists,
05:35be careful in your driving.
05:39And to those who cross the road,
05:42be alert to avoid accidents.
