He complained of major injuries? By the pictures, I would think it’s apparent he had major injuries… Sheesh.
That’s emergency responder terminology. Because they aren’t doctors so they can’t tell exactly what is wrong, but instead state the patient is complaining of X, Y, Z, and based on those complaints they determine whether it’s minor, moderate, or major. Then they figure out the best hospital transport based on those injuries.
