Cormac Hayes: Scalp laceration after crash
Cormac reports no loss of consciousness after the crash, and Meredith performs a brief ER check before cleaning his scalp wound.
In Plain English
Cormac's wound is small compared with Owen's trauma, but the crash mechanism still matters.
What Happened in the Episode
Meredith checks Cormac while he asks her about mercy killing.
Clinical Concept
Scalp laceration and post-crash neurologic screen
What ER Teams Would Evaluate
Real care would ask about loss of consciousness, headache, vomiting, anticoagulants, neck pain, neurologic symptoms, wound depth, tetanus, and imaging criteria.
Treatment and Management Overview
The episode shows a quick neuro check, blood pressure check, and wound cleaning.
What TV Gets Right
It checks loss of consciousness and neurologic status rather than treating the cut as purely cosmetic.
What TV Compresses
It compresses formal head-injury risk stratification, wound irrigation, closure decisions, and discharge precautions.
