All good points.........

Just updating your comment:

B]Being treated by a Medic/Paramedic at the scene does not compare to the definitive care provided at a Hospital(Gloden Hour and Scoop And Run and other great phrases).[/B]

Close. but not quite correct....the idea started years ago [1960's] in Ireland, then Australia and then followed by the US and very slowly by mainland UK..........of taking the commencement of "Definitive" medical care to the location rather than the patient to "Definitive" care........this care starts when our Doc/Paramedic starts work at the scene, and hopefully continues until they walk out of hospital.
