Oh Doc.

Oh Doc, please don't be wise after the event.

This crew were responding to a request for assistance....they normally have no way to verify the judgement or decision to request them.....but we must fix that indeed.

If in fact the Medical Staff called for help without due judgement, then there will be a time for them to justify that call in the future....the more of these faceless people that are vilified [like the pilots always are] in front of the 6 O'Clock news cameras and Coroners Court, then the better our EMS will be.

If this patient was not requiring immeadiate second level care, then there will be more questions asked in the courts in the coming months.

And you can [sic] all you like....your friends arn't dead because of someone else's call....and by your inference, perhaps not justified.

Great. [I will indeed restrain myself]
