i agree.
thats why the concept of a trauma team is important. so that you can have one assessment only, and everyone knows for sure what was seen in the assessment.
but there is recent research which shows that pelvic thrust as a manouvre is neither sensitive nor specific for diagnosing even open book fractures.
but i guess till further research is done we will continue to do so.
thats the drawback of evidence based medicine, cant practice and cant not practice it...
