Paramedic (BCP, ACP, CCP)
Nurse (....RN)
Doctor (MD)
In this list above (rough example), it's in descending order such that the MD has the highest authority. In Canada, one can only hand off a patient to an equal or higher medical authority
Sure, but I wasn't talking about legal rules. I was talking about how doctors resolve the situation of "patient on the floor, six MDs standing around wondering which of them should take charge".
