I can't help wondering if the paramedic isn't going to be left up a mountain with however many lbs of rocket gear to lug down?
I imagine the medic taking the role of first responder, giving the life-saving treatment until the rest of the team get there. I can't see the heli crew refusing a lift back down! Of course the medic is going to need to be based quite close to any incident in the first place given the limited flight time. I can see limited, but realistic uses.
