This year was the first time I'd ever had to go to the Point for a medical 
issue. (The "leaking Sharpie incident" from a few years ago doesn't 
count.) From my limited perspective I can report that everything went 
smoothly. The EMS crew quickly ascertained that I needed to see one of the 
MD's on duty, though it wasn't a time-critical thing. So while I waited 
for one of the doctors to be available, the Chirurgeon in Charge came over 
and asked some Pennsic-specific questions. We concluded that I'd caught 
the cold that was going around at Land Grab, which the dusty conditions of 
the first week had aggravated, but that it was definitely something for 
the EMS team to deal with. At that point the doctor came over, who soon 
diagnosed me with a secondary infection (sinusitis/bronchitis) and sent me 
off with a perscription for antibiotics.

So at least in my case, I can say that everything went well. It seems that 
they may have come up with an SOP that works nicely.
