The needs of the patient must always come first
I have NEVER flown with any medical crews that the patient wasn't the number one priority, they are some of the most driven people that I have ever worked with, now, the owners of the air ambulance companies are a different story.
very true. At some of our bases the medcrew and flight crew will regularly go to the ER and volunteer when not flying and on duty.
My company is also very good about dispatching us just in case or sending us somewhere to take the medcrew to help out....no charge. Were told were lucky to see 50% payment from what we actually carry but our owners do care about the patients.

I had a horrible flight the other day. I've never been disgusted by a patient until I tool that trip.
Anyone else have horror stories dealing with patients
And you guys are still in bussiness????
As someone that isnt nearly as righteous as the remarkably uptight retard that can't hear com 1, i have too been disgusted by the typical patients that we transport in our lears. It makes very obvious to me the correlation between taking care of your self, by eating properly, and effects that it has on your need for urgent medical care. So many times we get a trip where the person is having massive cardiac problems from, you guessed it, massive obesity. Just wonder if the thousands of dollars that we spend transporting them is really going to do them any good. Can't imagine that the 320 lb woman from mid nebraska will ever have a quality life after losing both her legs to her self destructive ways. I know some have genetic issues and such but also know for a fact that it is not the case with all. It may sound like a lack of compassion, but look around this country, fat disgusting people everywhere. Something is wrong. Now, i will take a step back and say that if what was disgusting to you was a trauma patient's injury, then you better find a different facet in which to fly because that is why we do what we do.
