Agree with Pret's summary: the only surgeon who could've made a difference would have been a Neurosurgeon...


**************************
 
 
The question is left suspended...
 
Should general surgeons (emergency Physicians) be credentialed to do emergency cranial decompressions?
Should there be a basic consensus as to the point where a "field" (outlying hospital) neurochir. Intervention
Should there be a credentialing system put in place (Advanced Neuro-Chirurgical Rescue certification)
 
If not
Why not ?

While you are twisting their arm
Slap them a good one across the head and tell them to stop doing neonatal transports
