Who are you to assess risk on the basis of patient age, colour, sexual orientation or creed.

This is a fundamental of HEMS operations worldwide and is why the US HEMS industry is on the verge of being closed down.

You as a pilot make your risk assessment based on aviation matters not medical matters.

Would you accept higher levels of risk for

A box of rocks
A child
A gay person
A person of colour
A person of age

If your answer differs for any category then your risk assessment is corrupt.
