Episode description
Author: Katrina Iverson, MD
Educational Pearls:
- The winter holiday months present a unique picture of patient presentations to the emergency department
- Some of the unique presentations include:
- Children falling off Santa's lap
- Sledding injuries
- Falling off ladders
- Lacerations, ingestion, and insertion of broken ornaments (pediatrics)
- Parents tend to hurt themselves on their children's toys
