[quote=Anonymous]As someone that works in a local hospital, it feels like nearly 25% of our total patients are older adults that have terrible injuries from falls. Usually fractures in the vertebrae of their spine, femur, pelvis, etc. I don’t mean this to scare you or anything, I would have no idea how serious falls were if I was not working in healthcare. A lot have complications like blood clots, pneumonia, pressure sores, etc. and they usually need asstsiance to do their basic daily activities bc their mobility is limited. [/quote]
