Emergency patient arriving at a hospital, time-exposure image. The patient is being attended to by paramedics, who are wheeling the patient into the hospital casualty department from an ambulance. The patient has been fitted with an oxygen mask and a saline drip (upper right). The saline drip, used to replenish the patient's bodily fluids and administer drugs, is being held up by one of the paramedics to ensure the flow of fluids is maintained.
