Hueyracer,
I guess that we'll have to agree to disagree. HEMS is seldom (if ever) the first responder, and there would normally be a road crew there well before the arrival of the helicopter. They will already be looking after the cas and prepping for transfer to a trauma hospital, so another minute getting out of the machine, gathering bags and joining the scene is unlikely to make any difference.
Your fire truck analogy could be better: apart from the fact that big red truck drivers
don't cut the engine unless they don't want to pump water
