GEORGE TOWN: A person lying unconscious on the ground after an accident should not be moved, as improper handling could lead to serious complications or further injuries, according to a first aid responder.
Penang Mutiara Charity and Voluntary Association (PSM) vice-president Lin Yu Wai said in a worst-case scenario, the spine could get injured, resulting in paralysis.
