I am sure, I did it many times.

I'm sure you did what you felt you were supposed to do, per your protocols.
I've run 2 Level One trauma systems with helicopter programs, and 2 private systems (one with 12 hospitals and one with 15 hospitals). My attorneys for all were rock solid on how we had to deal with patients coming to the ER.
Do you mind stating the general geographic area where you worked?
