Re: stable neonate transports

[User313629@aol.com]

Greetings all,
    Just a quick question on the whole EMTALA thing- if a basic pt. is being 
transferred from one hospital to another by 2 EMT's and the pt. condition 
worsens then how is that supposed to be looked at when there isn't a nurse, 
doctor or even a paramedic transporting the pt.? Just from what everyone is 
saying seems that you can't take a pt. from one facility to another unless 
you are maintaining the same level of care. Last time I checked there wasn't 
a doctor on a basic ambulance. Just a thought about the "stability" of the 
pt. and how things can always change.
