      Because he was treated and stabilised before being moved. And then transported at a speed that was safe and comfortable. You want to put him in another go-fast and bounce him all the way to Peebles?

    so why do these speed boats have to go so fast??? The real winner of a poker run is the boat that gets all the cards and burns the LEAST amount of fuel!!!!
