I feel like theres holes in this argument past how its being presented.

Upon what do you base your feels?

Maybe the criteria should be a little better than what the writing on the side of the car said ...

This seems far too simplistic an analysis to be really worth anything. Patients transported by ALS had higher mortality rates ... ok, but patients who are transported by ALS also tend to be sicker and have more comorbidities ...

Someone already started a thread on this study, although your link has some info not readily accessable on the other.
Thread merge candidate.

The article has a link to the same study that's under discussion in another thread and appears to restate findings. I'll post a link in that thread, close this one, as I don't see a need to merge threads.
