That’s great Doc,
But explain to me why it's O.K. for every Ambulance in Australia to be manned by Paramedics/Ambulance Officers and they can attend to the same accidents and medical jobs by road. But as soon as it's a 'CHOPPER job' the poor ol' Paramedic ain't good enough?
After all isn’t an Aeromedical Helicopter just a flying Ambulance?

I read with interest the latest NSW Rescue Helicopter review which stated a Doctor was “world standard” crewing. From my knowledge of Aeromedicine around the world, it seems a Paramedic and Flight Nurse seems to be the norm.
S.A.
