asleep at the wheel

It wasnt a terribly busy night. One assault came in after being tuned up about the head with a belt buckle. Another AV came in kicked in the throat. A rollover was brought in fairly ealy in the shift. On one of the highways he fell asleep at the wheel, went off the road and rolled over. He was in the car when it caught fire. Another motorist pulled him out and saved him. Injuries were minor. Death by burning was avoided. Traffic jam made the TV news.

Lots of empty psych beds. Where are they all?

An unidentified unresponsive came in. No ID. He is only known as T (how do you spell that?). ETOH on board. Found at a local bowling alley. Cops say he likes to fight when he wakes up. Vitals, foley cath, trip to CT scan and back. he never woke up. Sleeping like a vodka baby.
