My father treated a lot of facial trauma from MVA's back in the 60's and 70's. Back in the days of near non-existent seat belt use and metal dashboards. The frequency and severity of the injuries were MUCH higher than when I trained for the same profession 25yrs later. The majority of my trauma training was interpersonal violence and much less MVA as the mechanism of injury. Of course, I received MUCH more thorough GSW training than my pop.
