So let me get this straight... I'm assuming you're talking about a situation where providers are responding directly to the scene, not together on an ambulance. If you have a BLS provider show up first, your agency will have the BLS provider continue to provide (BLS) patient care, and the ALS provider will drive -- even though the patient requires ALS interventions?
