I have not seen the accident itself, but...

I was working in the XRay department as a clerk back then, when the EMT guys brought up a customer straight from ER. This was the first unusual thing, because that is normally not the job of the EMTs. The second unusual thing was the order form for this patient - basically any standard XRay-job on the form was selected.

And then, I was called in, too. Absolutely not in the book. Both EMTs, one of the two radiology assistents, and I had to don lead and hold this guy down. He had taken drugs, left his group, and hugged a driving trucks' front. He had broken about everything you can have broken without croaking on the spot, and was so far away that he tried to hit and kick with his busted limbs at the people who were trying to help him. Imagine four men holding down one guy without damaging him even further.
