Slight drift, sorry.
Sassy Pilot's Wife... I see your point but am not sure you understand the purpose of the Tempus.
Yes it's a machine, but it relays all the given info (vital stats etc) to live sat-phone connection to Medaire in the US, has trauma doctors & surgeons on standby. They then take that info and advise the crew on actions to be taken.
Sure, we are not doctors but it's designed to give them the info to tell us what to do (if there is no medical professional onboard)
We can also send still images/video to be used in aid of a diagnosis. Point of the tempus is not to replace a doctor but to allow more accurate diagnosis & decision makign with regards to diversions (espwecially on Ultra Long Haul ops)
And yes at my company in our medical supplies aside from AED we carry a full cardiac kit including all the proper medications (Doctor's Use Only)
