You are correct. Happy Halloween! The real pt in this case was a motorcyclist who crashed into a truck carrying structural pipes. He arrived w/ a bleeding wound in his right zygoma and a hematoma in his left neck. Angiography showed a bleeding internal maxillary artery that was embolized, after which the metal pipe was removed and his facial bone injuries repaired.
