    No, there are major differences. The classic example was Princess Diana, who spent the last hour of her life mere yards outside a hospital with an emergency room that could have probably saved her life. French protocol, as you say, is the “stabilize” the patient before moving, whereas in the US the EMS would have done a scoop-and-run.

      Yeeaahh, <citation needed> on the Diana thing.

      Scoop and run is a great way to kill a patient on the way to a hospital
