AB  - A  40-year-old  officer  was  thrown  from  his  police  boat  causing  him  to  strike  his  face  on  a  concrete  bridge  abutment.  He  was  found  lying  face  down  and  unconscious  by  other  officers  on  the  scene.  Upon  paramedic  arrival,  his  initial  Glasgow  Coma  Scale  (GSC)  score  was  9,  with  facial  bleeding,  and  a  tenuous  airway.  He  was  positioned  so  as  to  optimize  airway  patency  and  expeditiously  transported  to  the  nearest  emergency  department  (ED).
