A six-point white-tailed buck crashed through a window of a hospital in northeast Tennessee, according to an article on the NBC News website.

Three patients at an outpatient clinic at Tennova Healthcare-North Knoxville Medical Center in Powell were evaluated for minor injuries and released after the deer smashed through a double-paned window.
