What does this mean?! Is it the truth, or is it opinion? Should this be removed??

message: Currently it reads 
"Because a patient may have a lucid interval, any head trauma is regarded as a medical emergency and receives emergency medical treatment even if the patient is conscious."
However, that is a fact that is patently false, as last shown when Natasha Richardson died. I propose the sentence is changed to something like this:
"Because a patient may have a lucid interval, any head trauma should be regarded as a medical emergency and emergency medical treatment should be administered even if the patient is conscious."
However, that makes the page sound like a medical handbook? Better options? Removing it altogether makes the page lose the real fact.

replies: text: Yeah, I can see how 'is regarded' leaves something to be desired.  You're exactly right, in fact it probably used to say 'should' and the 'should' was removed because that kind of wording is discouraged by WP:MEDMOS and in general by guidelines that discourage articles sounding like howto manuals (e.g. giving advice).  The best would be if we could find a medical protocol or guideline so we could say "such and such guideline recommends/requires that any head trauma be..."  that way we're just reporting a verifiable fact, rather than expressing an opinion (although admittedly, that head trauma should be treated seriously is hardly controversial). Failing that, we could find a statement from some expert or change the sentence to say something like "standard treatment is..." delldot ∇. 19:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
