Hey everyone,
So I have kind of a legal question and I apologize if this seems like a dumb question but I've always worked in an ALS system so I was just wondering about something. If you have an ALS fire engine and a BLS transporting ambulance can the fire medic transfer care to the transport EMT or would that be considered abandonment because he's leaving the patient in a lower level of care?
