Once in  a while you hear stories through the EMS grapevine that EMS crews 
were  sanctions for bypassing local regional hospital and taking the wild risk 
of  doing diret transport to the Level 1 Trauma Center (this can only happen in 
 certain regions near Montreal and Quebec city)


When I  came back from the States 1988
Their were no Board recognised Emergency  Physicians that were allowed to 
exercise as such (McGill Univ has the 2nd  oldest EM program through)
Basicaly, I found that the GPs did not trust  themselves and there emergency 
medicine very much (and rightly  so)

They
Therefore

Did not trust their nurses  either (French Quebec nurses have clearly less 
autonomy than their Anglo  counterparts)

And

They absolutely did not trust the  "Ambulance Drivers"
