Abandonment is defined as termination of a health care provider-

patient relationship, without assurance that an equal or greater

level of care will continue. The physician is limited to whatever

tools he or she has with them, or, they are limited to whatever tools

that arrive in the ambulance. The paramedic should be able to

operate as well or better with his or her own equipment than would

the doctor. By definition, the paramedic would be working at an

equal level. The physician's knowledge base would, or should be

greater than the medic's, but they would be limited by the

environment and equipment. This would have to exclude the issue

of abandonment. Just a thought. Hall
