Scoop and run...would seem more appropiate.
A surgeon is nearly "naked" without support equipment/staff/etc...How long to set up a OR in a tent.....versus, sending the victims to the nearest ER/trauma unit?
I dunno....maybe I'm off base here.
No, you are right on target. A surgeon without equipment is better than nothing,.. but EMTs with their equipment and transport... are more appropriate in the field.
