On a crisp January 2022 day, Scott Sexton, MD, approached the Chevrolet Suburban in the Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest emergency room parking lot, not sure what to expect.
“I found a man lying on a mattress in the back of the truck,” says Sexton, an orthopedic surgeon with Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute. “He was in a lot of pain, so much so that I went out to examine him rather than have him try to come in.”
The man was 59-year-old Darren Grunstra, who had been badly injured in a motorcycle accident Sept. 21, 2021.
