Semi vs. Van

[MedicPrincess]

Nice pics here of our wreck the other day. Van pulled out in front of a semi traveling at least 55 MPH (speed limit in that area).

And the resulting story after our helicopter had a "check engine" light come on after loading the trauma alert.

Sounds like a doozy! How'd the pt fair? Ever get your chopper air-born again? . I don't know what STARS would do if that happened to them... :unsure: Probably scream for more government funding and take away from the fancy new provincial EMS system being built/amalgamated/butchered :glare:.

You and your fancy helicopter! Crazy story with even crazier pictures.

Pt was alive when we put him in the helo, pulled him out of the helo, and then put him in the helo...

those are some incredible pics! I was wondering what they were doing to the helicopter, then I read the story. Glad everything turned out ok.
