I think that we all have forgotten why we all fly,
THE PATIENTS....Period. It shouldn't matter what crew component is onboard
as long as we perform a rapid assessment, rapid transport with interventions
enroute. This does not mean sitting on scene for 45 min performing a skill
in the shadow of your receiving facility. In an attempt to prevent a fire
storm an attempt at an airway should be the only precedent to keep you from
loading and lifting. Again you should feel completely comfortable doing
anything in your A/C as you would on the ground. Direct pressure stops
bleeding so no need to sit and tie off a scalp bleeder for 30++ min while your
flight time is 6 min back.
Let's do what's right for your patients and stop
squabbling. "Can't we all get along?"
