I was saying that the way it should operate IMO (I don't know if this is the case) should depend on A) the patient's status and B) if there's a doctor/nurse available-depending on how you answer A.
Does the patient need care or is there risk that they get worse? - somebody has to stay with them. If there's no doctor/nurse available, that's going to have to be the paramedic.
If the patient can sit in the waiting room chair without risk that they die/get worse/whatever - it shouldn't matter if there's a doctor or nurse available immediately, cya later paramedic time to hit the road.
