RE: Response times and safety

[Lisa Heinz <flytrn117@yahoo.com>]

Our program has the same "policy" for our response
times. Any situation that falls outside of those times
needs to be documented on the post flight debriefing
sheet.  In my narrative on the patients chart I make a
note i.e. prolonged extrication, patient in x-ray,
etc.
