2scents -“What you are suggesting is not only not practical and dangerous but also not legal, an ambulance is required for patient transport. Not even sure why we are even having this nonsensical discussion.”
The fact is you don’t specifiy what’s illegal about it? Is it just a tort? I think your expression of illegal is just another way that you manipulate everyone!
And btw, cops do it all the time. Are you suggesting that they constantly break the law?!?
“True, blood is required for and NS or LR is not sufficient, but even blood is not definitive treatment and the patient might require first line drugs to control the hemorrhage or even surgical intervention.”
So what? Did I mention all the hospital treatment?
“That said, fluids is first step in the treatment”
Another manipulation! Are you representing Hatzolah with your posts?
I’ll repeat – the care of this patient that the OP presented, – is rapid transport with IV’s started enroute!
Your explanation doesn’t hold water!
All your posts explaining why they did what they did on scene care are just excuses!
The possibility that they did adequate care is very remote!!!
In hospital, they can start IV’s and order blood or blood products at the same time. There is no excuse, in almost all cases, to delay transport!
