A few months ago, I was doing rounds in the E.D. at Hartford Hospital when a Red Pod (high priority trauma) was announced over the intercom. The residents who knew I was there ushered me into the trauma room where the pt. was to be brought. The doors opened and I saw a flight medic stretcher surfing with the pt. down the hall. They worked on this kid for about 15 minutes, but as he had been down for over an hour already, there wasn't much they could do. He was an unhelmeted 18 y.o. ATVer who had ramped his ATV over an embankment at over 50 mph and landed on his head in the lake.
My best friend (who is a medic in Hartford) and his partner were called to the scene of a motorcycle vs. guardrail over the weekend. The 22 y.o. college student apparently did over 165 mph into the barrier, causing him to be decapitated along with losing an arm and a leg.
:censored: calls suck.
