@MalluGuy : You might be airlifted. It probably depends on how severe the bite is.
Hospital Trauma centers have different levels and Houston only has three level ones, two in the Med Center and one in Galveston. With catastrophic injury you need to be in a level one and quick.
According to a paramedic, one of the "you might want to consider Life Flight" criteria that his department uses is the death of another passenger in the same vehicle compartment. I thought I read that there was a fatality on the scene on the Katy Freeway yesterday, so that alone could make a paramedic more likely to consider Life Flight.
The decision is made by the first responders on the scene about whether or not to call for Life Flight.
