Don't you mean UNable to generate....?
Agree entirely that scarce resource could be better spent on "less sexy"
projects, like asthma, rapid assessment units for elderly fallers,
Stroke units etc. There's no point having all-singing, all-dancing
regional trauma units if the patient's half dead before they get there
for want of a spot of (quality) ATLS in the nearest DGH. There's an
eminent A&E boss in this region who made no secret of his fury when a
helicopter team "stayed and played" with a stabbed policeman, who was
spirited off to a "proper" hospital by air (he was DOA), when he could
have been in the local DGH A&E, ATLS'd and in theatre at least 45
minutes earlier.
