    Why in the world do they have the patient on a backboard while on the stretcher? If they are trying to harm their patient they are surely succeeding!

      If you weren’t there you don’t know the circumstances so why are you judging? Especially when you have no idea what you’re talking about, he’s not on a backboard while on the stretcher.
