Hi,
Most of the times when we recieve a patient information in ER...its a smart one word answer for eg...UNCONSCIOUS/CHEST PAIN/RTA/SEIZURES etc and not really the cause what might have lead to that situation.
With the given scenario it wud be wise to have a doctor on-site so as to triage and initiate patient care starting from managing immediate life threatening conditions on site to a decision abt what further speciality/treatment that patient may require,by this,the patient transport is quick and towards right place.
The choice of transport would be entirely depending upon what options we have got..realistically,in india,who wud wanna fly a helicopter for a vendor who was knocked down by a fast moving truck.{My thread abt "Affordability...." is searching for an answerAngry!!}
Expecting a paramedic to diagnose the cause on-site and passing the info is too much of asking.
