re: #52 Naso Tang

Debka has more details. However I want to ask a question if someone is from Israel. Most reports of attacks with or without injury speak of people being treated for shock.

Now I don’t trivialize the situation, but nobody is more used to the possibility of random attacks that Israelis and it seems somehow strange that people are routinely shocked even when not injured, to extent that they are treated for it, although I don’t know what that treatment entails.

Is this a language thing?

Concussion can cause physical shock which is similar to that caused in other forms of accident or injury. Even if there is no obvious physical injury an EMT should always start by treating for shock.
