This reminds me of an excellent talk on paramedic work at motorcycle road races in Northern Ireland given by the late Dr. John Hinds [1]. These guys crash into things at up to 200mph with unsurprisingly grisly results, which makes Dr. Hinds's calm technical descriptions and gallows humor all the more fascinating. What's especially crazy is that the paramedics have to ride motorcycles at 180mph+ to get to the crashed riders! (Northern Ireland didn't have helicopter ambulances at the time of the presentation). I highly recommend the video. Hinds was an excellent speaker with an excellent sense of humor. The technical details of motorcycle injuries and their treatments are very interesting, but I think the coolest part is the proximity of the riders and doctors to catastrophe and how it leads to an integration of the morbid and the banal.
