"cleared him clinically "
Doc, by this I assume you mean clearing the C-spine by clinical observation. As I recall, that consisted of:
1. The patient must be conscious
2. Ruling out pain with both flexion and extension
3. Ruling out Neurological deficits such as shooting pain or tingling in limbs
4. Ruling out palpable deformities to the C-spine
Does that sound correct? I would have sworn there were five criteria but that is all I recall.
