MEDLINK, is the proper terminology.
First time was probably almost 20 years ago, I dont know if MEDLINK was in service at that time.
Last was about 5 years ago on a PDX to IAH redeye with a divert to COS.
Approx. 75 yof, positive LOC, very low BP, unresponsive to stimuli, SC upon landing, evacuated with a Smith Cot by COS FD to a waiting ambulance.
Then 3 hours on the ground at COS waiting for O2 restocking but no griping.
I still have the bottle of cabernet.
