Used Trauma

The only downside to the trauma case I saw on call the other night was that it was, as it is referred to in the Emergency Department, a "used trauma."  The patient had in fact already been seen, assessed, and even intubated at an outside hospital before arriving at UVA.  What's even left for us to do?

Say, outside hospital... is there a Youtube video about that?  Yes, there is.
