    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to obtain medical assessment of fitness and appropriate manner of patient transport

    Wider context from the report

    “The evidence disclosed that assessment of fitness to travel and of the manner in which the patient should be transported requires medical knowledge over and above that of a paramedic, and that reliance should not be placed wholly on family members and hospitals in distant countries. In cases involving direct repatriation without the facilities provided by an insurance company, consideration might be given to obtaining independent medical assessment. ”
