From working within the EMS industry, I can tell for certain that Paramedics will despise the ides of a doctor riding along, even in just virtually. Sure, the idea would make sense in a perfect world, but in reality, I never see this sort of thing working for an EMS crew situation. Besides the fact that no EMS company is going to want to foot the bill for the equipment, there is the human ego part involved where they don't want what they do second-guessed. They are trained for a reason. (mind you, I am not a paramedic, or even an EMT)
