Prehospital Report (vs Triage? Hyperbolic Un Needed gadget

[KMATTOX at aol.com]

I have long looked for any single study which demonstrates the practical  
value of the many different "disaster tags".     These have  been created for 
sales and economic gain for those that sell EMS and hospital  agencies lots of 
stuff they do not need.    I certainly hope that  those that support these tags 
do not have any direct or indirect conflict of  interest.

and dismiss them out of  hand is a stretch of hyperbole even over the top for
