Risk 'v' Gain
I would like some feedback on the issue of how much information should EMS pilots / crew be told about patient's conditions / task. On one hand there is the train of thought that pilots should simply be tasked (asked) to fly from A to B. "Yes I can or no I can't (Poor WX etc). On the other hand, does that allow the pilot to make an accurate "Risk v Gain" assessment? Ultimately there will always be a line of risk that no task should cause to be crossed but how many times have you pushed through the "dark & stormy" to retrieve a case of "terminal dandruff"? Do we rely on the tasking agencies to make that decision? Your thoughts!
