Meer dan honderd gewonden, te weinig zakken bloed en niet-werkende telefoons. Gelukkig is het deze keer een oefening

Zodra er ergens in Nederland een ramp gebeurt, moet het Calamiteitenhospitaal binnen dertig minuten klaarstaan voor gewonden. Bij de jaarlijkse oefening kwamen zaterdag én gewonde militairen én slachtoffers van een busongeluk binnen.
