Hackensack hospital adding a trauma unit on wheels

[Ronald Gross]

C'mon, now Scott - even that CommiePinkoLiberal Pret can be right some
of the time!!   ;-)  (I really crack myself up sometimes)
And for the record, I consider Pret to be a valued colleague - and a
valued  friend.  And he and I agree on more than we disagree - OK, so
ALMOST more.....

Have a happy, all,
Ron

Exactly right Dr. Gross... I've taken a surgeon with me on both ground
and  
air critical care transports,  with a T&A tray and accessories, (more) 
blood, 
etc - and certainly there have been many, many cases where a surgeon
(or  EM 
physician) has proven to be an invaluable and lifesaving asset at a
disaster  
scene. ( L'Ambiance Plaza in CT and another collapse just a few years
ago come  
to mind). I don't think anyone in their right mind would question 
bringing 
physician-level expertise into the field, or on certain  (rare)
interhospital 
transports, but even the concept of what Hackensack is  trying to do is
utterly 
ridiclous and a huge waste of money that would be better  spent in a
manner 
such that it might actually be used as something more than a  roving 
ego-stroking, (awe-inflicting to the uninformed) billboard  showing how
how poorly our 
tax-dollars may be utlilized. 
 
However, Ron and Pret, it's nice to see the left and the right come 
together 
and share an opinion!
