Awww I'm glad you got to meet up with Crystal and thank her :) Our ambulance once responded to a call for a patient with an open leg fracture. . . only to find that he also had a severe concussion, a lung trauma injury called hemopneumothorax, and was lying 20 ft down at the bottom of a narrow pit with no ladder. We ran over to the construction site across the road and lifted him out in the jaws of the bulldozer. His trachea had started to distend from hemopneumothorax, which meant that he had about 5-7 min of life without emergency surgery, and the hospital was 15 min away. This was in Jerusalem, where the streets are very narrow and crowded. I'd never witnessed a van jump medieval cobblestone curbs. He lived. :)
