He Rarely Opines On EMS Issues…

… and we spar regularly over politics and religion.

But when my buddy Mule Breath weighs in with an opinion on EMS issues, I always listen carefully because he is one of the most sensible medics I know.

Anyone else find it curious that three helicopters were dispatched to transport patients to a trauma center less than 8 miles away?

I mean, other than a raging, epidemic case of rotoriasis?

THREE helicopters?!? I can see it if a bridge was out and there was a looooong detour, but! Holy crap, that seems a little excessive. Although since I wasn’t on the scene, I guess I shouldn’t judge.

The EMTs were trying to keep me breathing a couple of years ago, and almost called the bird in – I would’ve been really pissed if they had, weather was bad for flying. My life wasn’t worth risking theirs!

But…that’s how they did it on Trauma! And we all know how realistic that show was.
