Stepdad is a retired firefighter, and has seen some pretty scarring stuff.
One of the stories he shared was that he got to a car crash, woman had been t-boned at about 30MPH but was fully alert, able to move extremities, and according to stepdad, seemed like a bumps and bruises case.
They still load her up to take her to the hospital and a few minutes into the ambulance ride her vitals spike and she’s dead within a few minutes before they make it to the ER.
Turns out a broken rib had split open one of her organs but nobody had the slightest clue until it was too late (although it didn’t seem like there was much they could have done anyways).
