Narrative:

Landed with ill passenger, taxied off active runway after expedited short approach. Continued taxi, informed by ground controller I should have gotten clearance first. Was in a hurry due to medical problem on board, assumed tower so informed ground. On departure, got close to hold short line and wingtip was over the line. Moved to a second entrance well behind the hold short line. Lesson: always get an explicit taxi clearance. Don't assume or presuppose anything! Supplemental information from acn 549063: met by police, accompanied patient to FBO. Sat down for 1 hour, drank water. Felt better, departed uneventfully and completed mission.
