Reply to "This just isn't right."

I don't know where you got your information but it's wrong. Unless you where on this call,"which you wasn't" then you have NO right commenting on something you know NOTHING about. I was on this call, so I do know what happened, and it was nothing like you described. Since your in the EMS profession then you should know that there are certain situations that meet the criteria for an automatic launch, and situations that you have to request a launch. TO, you should also know that it is better to launch Air E-VAC and not need them than to need them and not have them. As far as your comments about the time frame EMS waited for the flight crew, the decision to transport to ECM, how EMS waisted valuable time, and about the golden hour is all WRONG and just goes to show that you wasn't there to know why those decisions were made. Tell me this, since you seem to know everything, how much more can the er do than the flight crew? Can the er transport and provide patient care at the same time? All the er is going to do is stablize the patient as much as possible and then call for either a ground crew or air crew to transport to another facility for a up grade in care. If EMS can stablize the patient as much as possible while the air crew is enroute, then the air crew continue patient care enroute to a facility that is more capable of handling the situation, then why would you transport to the er. Everything that was done that day was done for a good reason, situations can and do go bad to the point where you have to re-evaluate and do what's best for the patient at that present time, no matter what the initial plan was and that is what was done..... Thank You so very much... and the next time you decide to comment about something you need to make sure you have all your facts straight.
