  2. Just thought I would get an opinion here from everyone.  Today I was transporting a psych. patient to Cornwall hospital.  As my crew was getting onto the bridge to cross into Orange County, the patient changes his mind and wants to go to Poughkeepsie.  This was not a problem because P.D. stated to take the patient to Cornwall.  BUT, lets say you have a stable patient and start transporting to a hospital, and about 10 or 15 minutes into the transport, the patient changes their mind and want to go to a hospital a good 15 or 20 miles in the opposite direction.  Do you divert, or continue to the first destination of choice.  Example--stable BLS going to St. Lukes.  Five minutes from hospital, patient wants to go to Vassar Hospital instead.  Is this "kidnapping" because you are taking them to a hospital they don't want to go to now?  Or do you just turn around and go to the new destination of choice?  How would you handle this?
