My Ambulance Ops Director once told me not to take any risks with his crews. I was impressed by his guidance and told him so. He replied that he had given me the same speech that he gave all his Ambulance drivers on qualification. He saw the helicopter as just another ambulance and he was right.
Absolutely spot on!

Folks were dying waiting on ground transport long before the Helicopter was invented.....and will continue to do so when the Helicopter cannot get to them.

If you cannot get them back to the medical facility due to weather....if you land out or make an IFR recovery....you will call.....a Ground Ambulance to complete the transfer!
