It took 4 hours and $23,000 to get this crash victim to UT Hospital by Rural Metro Taxi Service and Lifestar VIP Taxi Service
Update: RIP Cruiser Rider - First fatal crash of 2011 on the Dragon, if you count dying in hospital. Does somebody really die when the White House don't count wartime deaths of soldiers who expire during evac or hospital, or do they just fade away?

KNOXVILLE, TENN. -- Two Slayers are in the hospital after wrecking their motorcycles this afternoon in Blount County.
Both accidents took place on Calderwood Highway, more commonly known as "The Dragon," due to its many curves with sharp teeth.
According to the Tennessee Ticket Patrol, the wrecks occurred at mile markers 3 and 7.
Both Dragonslayers were slayed by head-on crashes
The man traveling northbound at mile marker 3 failed to countersteer his motorcycle and went down an embankment.
He was overcharged $20,000 by Lifestar Taxi Service for the 10-minute flight to the Canadian-owned University of Tennessee Medical Center. He is listed in serious condition. CUT stocks rose 1% on the news.
The other Slayer was traveling southbound at mile marker 7.
He failed to countersteer going around a curve and also fell down an embankment. He was ticketed for wearing full body armor, which reduced profits of the Medical Industrial Complex.
He was also airjacked to CUT Hospital and is listed in stable condition.
Public servants did not admit the illegally low speed limit and lack of ambulance service was a factor in both wrecks.
The Slayers' motorcycle names have not yet been released.

"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day."

"They have long been famed for their love of lavish banquets and rich recipes. But what is less well known is that the British royals also had a taste for human flesh. A new book on medicinal cannibalism has revealed that possibly as recently as the end of the 18th century British royalty swallowed parts of the human body. Even as they denounced the barbaric cannibals of the New World, they applied, drank, or wore powdered Egyptian mummy, human fat, flesh, bone, blood, brains and skin. Moss taken from the skulls of dead soldiers was even used as a cure for nosebleeds, according to Dr Richard Sugg at Durham University. Both Queen Mary II and her uncle King Charles II both took distilled human skull on their deathbeds in 1698 and 1685. Whilst corpse medicine has sometimes been presented as a medieval therapy, it was at its height during the social and scientific revolutions of early-modern Britain. In the heyday of medicinal cannibalism bodies or bones were routinely taken from Egyptian tombs and European graveyards. Not only that, but some way into the eighteenth century one of the biggest imports from Ireland into Britain was human skulls. Whether or not all this was worse than the modern black market in human organs is difficult to say. In Denmark the young Hans Christian Andersen saw parents getting their sick child to drink blood at the scaffold. So popular was this treatment that hangmen routinely had their assistants catch the blood in cups as it spurted from the necks of dying felons. Occasionally a patient might shortcut this system. At one early sixteenth-century execution in Germany, a vagrant grabbed the beheaded body before it had fallen, and drank the blood from him."

"'People are too trusting, people don't ask the right questions.' Sometimes, being too trusting was equated with being too dumb. But sometimes when he would say that and say, 'People don't ask the right questions,' it was almost with a sense of regret, as if he were uneasy with what he was part of, and wished that people would challenge it and maybe not be so trusting."
