Only been through the ER once after a head on car crash. I wouldn't have cared or noticed what I was given to wear, what I looked like, what happened to my belongings. Everything stayed with me. Luckily I was discharged some hours later, but my car was totaled and I was 30 miles from home. I'd just moved to the area 2 weeks before so didn't know anyone well. Was able to remember one co-worker's name and looked him up in the local phone book. The hospital placed the call for me. He drove me home (turned out to be a 50+ mile trip for him). My keys were scattered all over the wrecked car so we had to break into the house.
