I thought it was funny. Boy, I wish I had some coal, we could get a half dozen diamonds out of this group! :roll:

"Not to be crude, but do you guy's still call in for orders as well?.... "

I'm not trying to be crude either but, have you ever heard of protocols or are you simply a bunch of renegades that do as you wish?

As far as the transporting via flight. I believe partially due to my explanation, you have me confused. The flights I'm referring to that doctors call the shots on are interfacility transports. For example, The Aroostook Medical Center does not have the panel of specialized surgeons and doctors that Eastern Maine Medical Center has. So after we bring them into the ER and they have been stabilized but still need to go to the larger, more equipped facility, the ER doctor will dictate how and where they will go for this 180+ mile trip.

As for an ALS emergency flight service that takes a patient from the scene to the hospital... We have no such service in our area. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok now with all due respect Capman after reading you explanation, your post has nothing to do with this thread due to the fact that the topic was weather or not the fire monkeys should be able to cancel a scene to hospital flight and or who has ultimate scene control.

I have talked to several times the guy who owns the Co. { I think he does anyway} I cant wait to get mine I have an agreement with the wife I get 'em after I graduate from medic school lol

Thank you gentlemen you have know idea how this thread has just helped me put everything into prospective.Most of you know or might not know I start paramedic school in Feb. I have had a rough time and some self doubt as of late, and this post just showed me I am where I need and want to be and I will do all that is within my power to be the best medic I can be. Thank you again
