1. Don't turn down a ride to the emergency room. You should always get medical attention after you have been involved in an accident.
2. Don't keep secrets from your doctor. Tell your doctor about all your symptoms and how they are affect your ability to go about your daily life. Tell your doctor about your past medical history, including prior injuries.
3. Don't miss medical appointments. Follow doctor's orders: take your medications, get your medical treatments, and show up for your medical appointments.
