Because Hospitals are prepared for emergency and have crash boards. It is alway better to have the patient at working height .. more managable and safer for staff also. Back injuries are #1 in healthcare workcomp sooooo.. not unusual at all.
Hell...They had been working on her for 20 minutes before Moe arrived.
I still say that Howard called Moe to "call Taz" because he (Howard) didn't have Taz's number. There was that very questionable story about calling 9-11 and who couldn't because they were in a certain zone. That whole Tale seemed like a lot of cr**.
More recently, Moe said he regretted that he called Howard first instead of 9-11....which blows that tale away. The "Tale" was "what Howard wanted Moe to say". Did Howard linger in the parking lot until everyone had arrived so he could provide his "drama" at the scene?
