If theres a mass casualty event, not necessarily mass fatality, a bunch of ambos will be sent ASAFP.... I cant see the benefit of an ambulance 'bus' with lots of seat and stretchers and still only 2 clinicians..... What's more concerning is using the example of Schoolies...... FMD I was young once... BUT if the event requires a van that caters for 12 kids sufficiently injured to require medical attention and and Ambulance... then the problem isnt the lack of medical capacity - IT THE SCHOOLIES EVENT!!!
I wonder exactly how many mass-casualty event occur every year in SA, in Adelaide?? To warrant this
perhaps it would be wise to steer clear of public events for a while
