I AM a physician. I learned long ago to never admit it in public. The EMS people know their job and you will just get in their way.
I was recreation director for a large Summer retreat. Our girl’s basketball team was playing another one. One of their girls really twisted her knee.
Their coach was also a Dr. It was so bad that you could see it was out of socket or whatever. I had one of my crew run to the nearest phone and call an ambulance.
The Dr. looked at it but did nothing. The next day I was talking to one of the paramedics. He said she was in so much pain that they gave he morphine on the way.
I guess there was nothing the Dr. could do but it sure seemed like he should have done something.

Unless I KNOW I can help, EMS is way more equipped to help someone in the field.
Oh, I DO stop at MVAs, but I'm really only able to "aid" or "advise".
MDs are great in the hospital, with all the staff and resources, but at the scene, what can we actually do?
Not a whole lot.
My brother is just about one of the best paramedics there is. I’d rather have a great paramedic available than pretty much any doctor.
