Hey I'm an ambo and I'm happy that the resources were allocated in that way. Getting a person down the mountain is hard work. The chopper is usually called due to the potential of the injury and extraction problems.. So the ambo's on scene were thinking both. its not till the get thereAs for can they truly assess the situation. As for

"seeing expensive resources
used unecessarily"

just come on our trucks any night of the week to see the rubbish we get called to " let me see you called an emergency ambulance because you had trouble sleeping?"
GRRRRR
