A massage after a car accident? Sure, why not? I bet they're looking for the full 'whiplash' experience. D all the way, my dude.

Book the appointment? Absolutely not! This person needs urgent medical attention, not a massage. D is the way to go, no doubt about it.

Hmm, I'm thinking C - refer them to another therapist. Let the professionals handle this one, I don't want to risk making things worse.

Yikes, this sounds like a potential medical emergency. I'd have to go with D and send them straight to a doctor. No massage for them, not until they get checked out first.

Okay, hold up. Slurring words and difficulty speaking? Definitely not a good sign. I'm going with D - refer them to a doctor immediately. Safety first, right?
