I Dont know about Possil, but there's a few fossils playing 'ride of the
valkyries' on this thread!
The place for an A/E doc is either in the department or, if at the
roadside, them with a team with whom they have trained and developed a
proper relationship.
I do not have a problem with medical provision of care in the pre-
hospital environment. I do have a problem with persons of all
disciplines being territorial over the issue and not working together as
a result.
In my view, working together means training together. The old games of
"maintain medical primacy" and "usurp the doctor" have no place in the
modern day. Joint training and a common aim should eliminate this.
