Well  aware sir, the post I thought I quoted described rushing the victim of  
 
major trauma to the NEAREST hospital, not the nearest APPROPRIATE  hospital. 
My 
assertion that someone forgot the sad lessons of yesteryear  was that thought 
that the casualty was better off in the loving arms of a  facility neither  
staffed nor equipped to manage a trauma patient  when one that is was 
reasonably 
accessible - by ground or air.  



How very right you are.
