I'm trained as a paramedic. I routinely make those sorts of assessments (much more frequently than most physicians, in fact). It's unlikely you carry anything in your medkit that I don't carry in my ambulance.
My question is mostly if the 'physcian' requirement could be circumvented if someone with medical training (other than a physician) were in contact with a physician on the ground. If, for example, I were to explain to a remote physician that there's someone on board who is experiencing A, B, and C, and I would like to do X, Y, and Z. If the doc concurs with the decision, would that be enough, or is there some set in stone policy that couldn't possibly be overridden?
- omegant 14y agoLet me check the rules, but I certainly would give you access to the emergency kit, and control over the issue. Your experence and formation is much more related to an onboard sudden problem, than for example a dentist or any other physician who has forgoten basic ER knowledge.
- omegant 14y agoI just checked and you are completely right, is any one with a medical training and a professional ID as an accreditation. It is just we call for a doctor as a generalization, but is wrong and we should be more precise.
