    He will be riding my bike and he will go back just like the car drivers do Which is I am told by public transport. Atleast thats what a colleague of mine told me who has hired the services of a chauffeur.

        Your (illegally) statement reminds me of that scene in MunnaBhai MBBS. "Agar Casualty ward ke baahar koi marr raha ho, to usse form bharna zaroori hai kya?" So much for legal procedures being followed in our country.

        Theres nothing legal or illegal when saving a life, critical or non-critical

        Its already in use in African countries, not just on motorcyles, but cycles too

        As of today, Rural is where the money, market and the scope of improvement is If we all think only of commercial interests, rural india will remain rural forever

          A demo was also given in 3 Idiots of an illegal patient transfer.

          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

            there should be a proper and safe way of handling patients and not being impractical. it will be more dangerous than safe to transport an unconscious patient on the back of the bike. Africans might do it, no other country with bike paramedic does.

            Actually, the concept is of not a bike ambulance but a bike paramedic, where the doctor/nurse can reach to the patient for first hand care and not become a transport medium.

            I couldn't come up with a good idea of doing anything like this in rural area. If you have something please share.

            Anyways, the main topic was on taxis and I still think a good business plan can work in India.

              I can work out the details if anybody at all shows interest. But it should be costing much lesser than the services of a car driver. Much lesser infact.
