Lionleum floors

So I am reading Heart Seizure by Bill Fitzhugh, and this small passage struck me as funny. It takes place in a hospital, with an FBI Agent trying to get a heart (transplant) to the president of the US, and this is what happens to him:

He looked up from his throbbing tibia just in time to see a swinging door hurled open by an emergency case on a charging gurney. The door hit flush on his forehead. The furious transfer of energy flipped Agent Berger upside down and backward with such violence that when the back of his head cracked on the linoleum, it woke someone from a dream one floor down.
