Are you saying that all the emergency drugs in an ambulance are
available without a Dr's concent?



When I was a volunteer paramedic, all of the drugs on our ambulance had
prescriptions on file from our medical director. I wouldn't be surprised if
the airlines had similar arrangements.


Not to mention, most major airlines today have instant medical
consultation available to the flight crew, via satellite link.

Happy Flying!
