Flyting - how does that work when the Doc can't see the patient?

You have to go on best guess information and assume the casualty is in real need - unless you have trained medical personnel on scene, you will always have to err on the side of caution.

The education part comes in not setting off up the mountain in poor weather in the first place but people don't want to hear that message.
