Doctors Using Cameras
From 10 Now:
A new study being conducted at Upstate Medical University will look into using images of crash scenes to help treat victims. Doctors will use traffic surveillance cameras to see the accidents and rescue operations to try to help the staff in the E.R. provide better care to crash victims. They will have access to 20 DOT cameras around Syracuse to see the accident scenes right after they happen. The idea is that if doctors know more about the accident, they can better treat the patient. The study is funded by Alfred Kahn, who survived a crash in 2003 and spent weeks recovering at University Hospital.
What an unusual use of traffic surveillance cameras! It will be interesting to see the results of the study.
