Seems to me that somebody (press) is making an elephant out of a mosquito. Also, the medical team spoke to the guards and not the pilot.

An air ambulance spokeswoman said: ‘We landed on Sheik Al Maktoum’s estate and were prepared to cut the fence and guards did approach the crew.

‘But at that point we received a radio message saying that the patient wasn’t as badly injured as we thought. The medical team had a discussion with the guards and a decision was taken to move the helicopter.’
I guess if the person would have been in a life threatening condition they would have told the security guards to get lost and continued their work.

What's being discussed by some ("rich dude kicks out life savers, OMG lynch him!") is exactly what headlines like these are trying to provoke.
