Damn it actually sounds as cool as I think it is. Incredible. What happens if/when you get a really sick patient that needs tertiary care? Say you're out to sea and you have a patient with a STEMI that got intubated and has medications running. I assume the Coast Guard would be called to hoist the pt. out and fly them to appropriate care, but a lot of those interventions might be beyond the scope of practice for the standard CG medic (my experience with Coast Guard medics consists of watching those shows on the Weather Channel so I could be completely wrong regarding their scope of practice). Is there a plan/protocol for situations like this?
