When Seconds Count – ER Doctors at BCCH

Do you know how many seconds are in a day?  How about a week, or even a year?  Just to put it out there for you, there are 86,400 seconds in a day, 604,800 in one week, and about 31.5 million seconds in a year.

Odds are you probably don’t measure your time that way, and rightfully so.  After all, what can really happen in a matter of seconds?

Our ER doctors would tell you that a skateboarding trick can go horribly wrong (watch these for examples), a snowy day can result in a car crash, or intense chest pain can strike.  These same doctors would also tell you that seconds could mean the difference between life and death.

While traumatic events are never pleasant to think about, they happen.  Our Brigham City hospital knows the best way to deal with these incidents is to be ready.  Our ER physicians and surgeons are highly specialized and trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and our Level IV Trauma Center is equipped with cutting edge technology to handle life-threatening situations.

Being a Level IV Trauma Center means that we provide initial evaluation, stabilization, and diagnostic services for people with severe injuries. Trauma-trained nurses and board-certified physicians are ready to treat those patients upon arrival to the emergency department.  Brigham City can also arrange for the transfer to a high-level trauma care facility if needed.

Whether it’s seconds in a day, week, or year, we know all of them count, and we’re ready to show you how.  To learn more about what sets Brigham City Community Hospital apart visit: www.brighamcityhospital.com.
