'Jamair' that's a valid point you make re the nature of the med condition etc.
That being the case(low priority) there would still be an element of commercial pressure as with any med retrieval, time= money.You keep the team (med & tech crew) on the ground for another day or so for say better wx or daylight Ops & the costs start to escalate.
The tech crew where not in a position to access the condition of the patient as the very fact that it's a long distant costly transfer done outside of normal commercial ops alone means some level of urgency so making ops decisions based on that alone means commercial pressure.
The insurance Co's couldn't care less about details of any particular flight (delays etc due WX) they just want it done quickly to keep costs down.
Commercial reality is very real in that part of aviation.
