RSRCs VIEW

A single flaw in the 62495 Kms of track thatcrisscrosses the country, a defect in the 7500locomotives, 40,000 Coaches and 2.5 lakh wagons thathaul more than 11 million passengers and over 1.2 million

tons of freight every day, an incorrect indication of one ofthe signals, a mistake by one of the 6 lakh frontline staff,a rash act by one of the million road users in38000 levelcrossings or an irresponsible act of carrying inflammablegoods can cause a major tragedy.

But the political executive and the media seemsatisfied when a few heads roll, the more senior thebetter. It is palpably unfair. It is just that they are at thewrong place at the wrong time.

GOLDEN HOUR The first hour after an accident is termed as the golden

Hour Most Trauma patients can be saved if bleeding is

effectively stopped and blood pressure restored withinan hour.

It is likely that patients who have experienced shock

and remain in that state of shock for long duration willdie. Surgical intervention within the first one hour istherefore crucial for increasing chances of survival.

This hour called the golden hour begins the momentinjury occurs.
