William Hancock, 44 year old male, was travelling in a bus that met with an accident. When the emergency personnel arrived, he was found unconscious, and the vital signs were stable. He was placed on the backboard and his neck, head, and back was stablished. The paramedics noticed that water blood was escaping from the right ear. Characters in the case: William Hancock, paramedics, and doctor. Adequate information: In the hospital, he gained consciousness and was treated for deep lacerations on his head and face. The scans showed both longitudinal and the transverse fracture of the right petrous, temporal, and sphenoid bones, which move through the foramen rotundum as well as the foramen ovale. To determine: Consequence of damage caused to vagus nerve.
