In order to resolve this ongoing
"discussion", I think we need to resolve this with
technology. A giant nationwide network of patient
size pneumatic tubes strategically placed at every road intersection
and hospital connecting to all trauma centers and specialty hospitals would do
the trick. Law enforcement personnel at the scene could be
trained to simply ABC and stabilize the patients with "stuff" in their
cruisers then ship the patient to the appropriate hospitals where the person
with the most credentials, certificates, licenses, clout, money, or power
could eventually take care of the patient.
