pcstel, Didn't sound like an Emergency Medical Service to me! Their job was fighting forest fires - they were just passing. We had no communications, and the other cars that stopped had failed to raise a cellular signal or a response on CB. Most people would have waited around for the EMT's, and then proceeded on their Merry way.... Thanks. In different circumstances, so would I. However, I was in no hurry that day - I would just have spent longer waiting around at my destination instead. John

OT If all the poor guy had was a Broken Leg.. I can't believe that a team of "Emergency Medical Technicians" left the guy laying on the ground for three hours until a couple of guys with a "gurney" showed up to stick him in the back of an ambulance If the EMTs do the transporting, the mountain is without EMTs for the 2 1/2 to 3 hours it takes to get to a hospital and back to the mountain. Not so hard to understand if you've been there. Therefore, the drill is for an ambulance to be dispatched from a nearby (relative term) hospital. The alternative is life flight, but landing on the mountain is tricky, and can only be done in certain locations so you're still waiting for that ambulance, usually. The EMTs have no transport capability that I'm aware of. Pierre
