I have seen the ill or injured that were approaching death be loaded up and transferred to another medical facility purely to prevent harm to the Mortality Rate for the facility requesting the transfer.
I have also transported a lot of folks that had no medical necessity for transport involving the sophisticated equipment and special training enjoyed by our Medical Crews.
At one location we were the transport method of choice for Federal Prison Inmates for security reasons and not medical reasons.
show me a critical patient for ailment A, and having elective surgery B the day after. Doesnt make sense that my dad who suffered a heart attack on monday, would still do his scheduled hip replacement on tuesday.
Totally agree this is unacceptable in medical terms.
