Good Evening Clunkdriver:
I would assume at your age plus experience you must have contemplated what is important in life and what is not after transporting a cancer patient.
My only experience with that was a long time ago when I transported a jockey who had fallen off his horse and had his head clipped by one of the hoofs of his horse. He was comatose and we were bringing him back to YYZ where he was to live his days in a long term facility. My partner of the day was very squeamish and as were using a C-310 I lifted him off the stretcher and with the help of one of the E.M.T.'s was inside we passed him through the cargo door on to another stretcher.
As this was back before the days of medivac/lifeguard call signs A.T.C. gave us priority same with customs, ramp workers etc. Those are the days when the best come out of people and it is gratifying to hear it still happens.
