Nice example. At least they knew enough to transfer the patient.
As an opposite example I was working the ED on the Waianae coast on Oahu. One brother stabbed another with an
8 inch kitchen knife (yes they brought it in with them when they both arrived).
They were both about 6' 3" and over 300 lbs (big native Hawaiians). In the ED I explored the wound then in radiology used contrast. The wound failed to penetrate to the fascia.
I sewed him up and they went home happy. Not even mad anymore
That was always an interesting place to moonlight.
