I was reading through old posts yesterday and didn't see any mention of this, so thought I would add it.
In the paramedic report Murray's CA license is listed as being G01168, but we know that isn't true. So what does G01168 mean?
After the pic of Michael on the stretcher was revealed I kept digging for information and ended up finding a recall notice on a Stryker bed for a serial number matching Murray's CA license.

I know this sounds crazy but maybe we were just given an 'adventure' with this pic and it really had no meaning behind it other than the matching of the serial number and CA license.
I would really like some feedback on this and see what everyone's thoughts are.
Love you Michael!
