Charles McGrath gives the thumbs up because he's not really the victim of a terrible vehicle accident, leaving him with major burns and lacerations. McGrath and three others were done up to look like major trauma victims for the benefit of students in Health Sciences 383. The event took place April 6, 2010 in the TRU Alumni Theatre.
