What assistance can ATC provide in a medical emergency, would they know the nearest airport where medical service might be nearby/somewhat good as opposed to podunk?
Generally is it better to get on the ground to any airport where first response services might be during a medical emergency, as opposed to flying an extra 12-15 minutes to a larger city? I figure 8.5 minutes is the minimum to come down from cruise and land right below you. So the alternative might be flying 20 minutes to land at a larger city or town. Is it better to just get down?
