5 miles from Rohan. 80 year old, looks like a villager. Maybe not. Still, 5 miles from Rohan. Just outside the bubble.

I can't figure out why his injury was so serious that it warranted airlifting him to Orlando, yet he was treated and released the same day.

It was reported in the unmentionable online news which usually reports daily a few crimes occurring in TV and the surrounding area. Some give me a chuckle. Others truly trouble me, such as this one. This criminal should have been behind bars, not out on the street.

It does not take long to bleed out.

As another pointed out it doesn't take that long to bleed out, it could have also been exhibiting other issues due to the shock of being wounded.

Sure seems like they could have gotten him to Lessburg ER in an ambulance faster.

Older people die more frequently as a result of accident and injury.

They were being super careful, because somebodies love him.

Since we were not there, we cannot critique the care he got.

Probably because Orlando is the nearest level I trauma center... the man did have a gunshot wound

He had good insurance and someone saw a chance to make some money?

They probably took him to the closest hospital that had the resources to capably treat him in a timely manner.

Anyone consider that if they had taken him to TVRH he might still be in the waiting room?

I agree and that statement sums it up nicely.

I did hear that they considered (for less than a second) waiting to see what some of the EXPERTS on TOTV wanted to do but decided to go with the "established emergency medical protocols"
