this really is flawed logic.
You can’t make someone else’s problem your problem. You have to take emotion out of it and treat the patient like you were transporting cardboard boxes.
Different story for military ops as far as risk goes. But for civilian operations there’s no need to put your crew at unnecessary risk.
