It is not accurate to say that ambulance/HEMS pilots don't have time to do a wire recce before flying at low level (for example to an unprepared landing site). Those who work in the emergency medical business ought to know that their own safety comes far before the patient's well-being. This is drilled into them constantly. A HEMS pilot helps nobody by making an uninformed approach into wires in the effort to save a patient.
