GANN VALLEY, S.D. — Rural medics who rescued rancher Jim Lutter after he was gored by a bison didn't have much experience handling such severe wounds.
But the medics did have a doctor looking over their shoulders inside the ambulance as they rushed Lutter to a hospital.
The emergency medicine physician sat 140 miles away in a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, office building. She participated in the treatment via a video system recently installed in the ambulance.
