According to that news link above, the patient was a 2-year old child.
It was a SICK 2 year old child - the article says the pilot 'looked at the weather BUT his heart was for the child and he wanted to help the child get medical attention.'
Sadly this says everything - trying to fly a sick child in a 4 seat aircraft with I assume no medical modification is itself unbelievable - how do you immobilise let alone monitor the patient? And to launch into what appears from the report to be inclement weather just lined up the holes in the cheese.
RIP
