Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation

Part of the reason it's a good idea to pony up the points for Paramedic Skill...if your hero DOES have to take someone to the hospital, they won't make the situation worse in transit.

Re: Super-Hero Provided Patient Transportation

 

This was a problem confronted by Sky, my paramedic-turned-superhero, who wound up being a supporting-cast type for one of my high school campaigns. His primary ability was to fly very fast and he typically carried a backpack medical kit (bonus to paramedic skill) that included a web harness he could fasten around a patient and quickly fly him or her to the nearest trauma center (bought as a x2 mass increment on the flight with a focus limitation). He would occasionally run into a patient who was too injured to move, but it was more dramatic to race a victim to the hospital than wait for an ambulance and a crew to neck brace and back board a victim...

I'm fairly sure we've seen Green Lantern supply a backboard when transporting injured people. Offhand, he's probably got one of the better powersets for that. (I suppose Plastic Man or Mr Fantastic could do something similar...)

Most armed forces medics have access to portable folding stretchers; perhaps a superhero, who is probably acquainted with gadgeteers of various stripe, could get hooked up with something like a portable spine board, or something even more exotic.

 

An inflatable body stabilizer would be small and light enough to carry, but with super-science has the potential to solve a lot of patient transport problems. In a pinch, you might even be able to justify using it as an entangle!
