TDP I think you are right that sometimes the public and some members of the medical and paramedical professions abuse the abilities and services of GFS. Have you ever "rescued" a walker from a country park trail with "exhaustion" or a "sprained ankle"? Dropped them at Chai Wan and they run to the ambulance? Or asked the case history of a patient being lifted at 0200 from CC to be told that it's a broken wrist?
I haven't, and these examples are heresay But you may know of similar cases.
What concens me is that GFS continues to operate such low urgency and sometimes high risk flights. Is it some desire to keep the Government funding, so that the ratio of operational flights to training flights is kept to a reasonable level? You may remember that at one point a few years ago it was reported that over 60% of GFS operations were training, and a further 18% (I think) were VIP travel.
You guys do an amazing job, and win world awards for heroism but heroism has its place, when life is in danger. Putting life and machines at risk for either the public image of a medical practitioner, or the political advantage of GFS should never be allowed.
