I like to think that when I get to that type of flying, I won't mind knowing the patient's condition for the reasons mentioned beforehand, for flight planning, where taken, etc.
As sorry I might feel for the patient however, the safety of my aircraft, myself and my crew will be the only issue in determining whether the flight will be undertaken, wich all other factors made (weather, etc.)
Some would feel that the patient is cargo, and at some level that is true, a pickup and delivery. But unless one is detached in making flight go-nogo decisions, you could find yourself in a bad situation with the best intentions.
