Beschreibung

E-scooter injuries are on the rise in Canada -- and they're becoming increasingly common among kids under 18. A new survey released by the Canadian Pediatric Association found ten children died in the last year after an e-scooter collision, and the number of severe injuries has also increased. We speak with Dr. Daniel Rosenfield, a pediatric emergency physician at SickKids hospital in Toronto, about why these injuries are becoming more common year after year, what he's seen in his own ER, and what can be done to prevent more collisions.
