Norman is right.  I heard a reporter asked Bob Bass (a good man) if I would
be selected for the panel.  He said, "Maybe, but we are looking for somebody
who does not have an established opinion either way."

Unfortunately Bob is correct

I would be great to be a part of a real panel changed with a productive
outcome of realistic and patient care oriented guidelines. But my  view
of the government directed reviews tells me it will never happen. "You
can't gore my ox"

"Unless they include Norman McSwain, Ken Mattox, and Bryan Bledsoe, I
question whether this is going to be anything other than another
whitewash
feel good meeting that has become the standard in the aeromedical
industry."

The meeting will begin with the declaration that "aeromedical services
are widely recognized as an essential component of today's modern EMS
systems," after which the outhouse will receive several new coats of
paint.
