Army Flight medics are, for the most part, great medics. Every field has heros and zero, the PJ's are no exception.

Patients are called patients, I don't think that is going to change anytime soon.

Go ahead and disregard then. I heard(from the PJ's) that they are/were being underutilized and that we should utilize this means IOT get them spun up. If you all don't want to utilize them then that is your choice. All injuries do not necessarily warrant the same level of evac care(not saying anyone deserves less care, however some more advanced tx's need more advanced medics). As an 18D I think that I have the ability to discern what level that is. I was not advocating a blanket approach. Only saying that it is a tool, to be put in your toolbox.
