Is there something makes ambulance personnel inherently incapable of making a logical clinical decision? No? Then why "pass the buck" and "let somebody else make it" - isn't that just poor form, pointless and lazy?

If I called the Duty Shift Supervisor or my Territory Manager and asked them, they'd tell me "you are on scene, you are treating the pt, you make the decision!"
This situation shows a minor child who's parents disagree with treatment plans, getting other people involved can help get the child the correct appropriate treatment. In every state I have worked I cannot put someone on a medical hold only law enforcement is allowed to do that in the pre hospital setting.
