EMTs have their limits

A couple days ago, a hawk flew into the Hancock building. The Urban Paramedic talks to one of the EMTs who responded:

... According to the witnesses, it knocked itself unconscious. By the time we got there, though, it was sitting up and looking around.

I gave the blanket to the cop. If the woman wanted to walk up to this enormous bird and drape it on him, I told him, then she should go right ahead. ...
