two words, job security
That car was a flippin! I counted at least five different scratch directions on the hood area, must have been some ride.
Was that accident in a real rural area or something?? There was no way those patients should have been on scene that long unless they were waiting for... well, no way period. It takes so long to do shoring and extrication like that they should have had a helo there by then. OK, off my soapbox, I hate when trauma patients are on scene more than a minute after extrication.
