EM Rule 3.21:
Regardless of where it occurs in the entire medical center complex, any inefficiency in patient flow or staffing will always trickle down and bite the emergency department right in the arse.

Making your dying loved one a full code, intubating, doing chest compressions, invasive lines & inotropes until the out of town family can arrive to say goodbye is cruelty.
There. I said it.
Tell the others.

Interesting -I have been blocked by @aams The Assn of Air Medical Services. The trade association for the US air ambulance industry. ? because I openly disagree with their basic philosophy of:
More helicopters are always better -regardless of medical quality, safety or cost.

@FLTDOC1 blocked by @AAMS.
Interesting choice. I suspect that @AAMS may come to regret doing this.

How is it that the "10 min fly circle" has become the standard for HEMS coverage? 10 min fly=approx 20 miles. HEMS should not typically be used for such short hops.
These circles should be 2-3x the current diameter. With that-the gross oversaturation becomes even more apparent

If you think this is an appropriate way to teach new medics airway management, and or that it’s appropriate to intubate someone like this. Just stop now. I’m 100% on board for US medics losing ability to intubate if this is the plan.
