It becomes clear that EMS crews aren't only doing their job but rather "are putting their lives on the line every day" and are seen as heroes, "at the very least, these poor folks passed helping other people" etc.. Even if they put their lives on the line every day, is this acceptable? Don't the members of the public realise that it shouldn't be like that and accident numbers are way too high and accidents too frequent?

And this comment "Look it up! Way to high a percentage of these Hospital Run Choppers are going down! I used to live out est and we had 2 or 3 a year out there! It really is better to lose the victim of these accidents, than whole medical teams, a chopper! Sorry if that seems Insensitive! Don't expect them to fly in where it isn't safe!" already has 5 thumbs down

That's what I wanted to adress.

As I've said: I don't want to degrade the work of EMS crews or question their passion for the job.
