I would  hope our air medical colleagues are months or years ahead of us in
this  matter and provide us with strong direction.

I am neither an expert in  this field nor a person proclaiming to be such.  I
am a 30+ year EMS  Provider who is tired of seeing news reports regarding air
and ground  fatalities of my peers far too frequently.  I am personally
sickened  by a few of my peers and colleagues who, in my opinion, sit like
vultures  waiting to throw blame at and denigrate those who have perished.

My  thoughts are not grandiose, just simply to bring together  experts,
stakeholders, and participants, electronically or in-person, to  look at some
of the data that may be available, the best practices being  used, and the
known bad practices to start an organized dialog FOR change  where change is
appropriate.  Some of that change may be attitudinal  versus physical.  

I simply offer my concerns and whatever skill  set I may bring to the table
to look at the issue for a positive discussion  on how to prevent death where
possible and save lives when the opportunity  arises.  Thank you Dr. Mattox
for knowing several of the specific  issues that should be addressed, maybe
others can follow his and Jules lead  to present agenda items to start the
dialog.

Thanks.

Take  care, 

Bob
