Helicopter ambulance

[claidheamhmor]

There's this commercial on the radio that is advertising emergency medical rescue by helicopter for the low, low fee of R90 per month.

How incredibly rare is is to be in a situation where you survived an accident or something, but you're hurt badly enough that the small time advantage (if there is one) of getting a helicopter medivac will save your life? Pretty rare, I'd say.

I wonder how many customers that company has...

It makes sense if you live where we live - the nearest decent hospital is in PE which is at least an hour and a half's drive away, over some (in places) bad roads, and the local ambulances are notorious for taking hours to arrive.

I suppose that might make sense - but do you think they'd have enough choppers to cover PE? I wonder what their distribution is.

You never know, I'm sure it is a branch of one of the bigger companies.
