Air ambulances provide the best possible facilities to the patients. The medical experts as the crew help a lot during the medical travel. Emergency medical travel assistance should be called asap in case of need so that the doctors may help you.
"With doctor lead medical teams on a helicopter, the focus is often different.
The helicopter is used as a rapid intervention vehicle to get definitive medical care to the patient. Once stabilised it may now be better for the patient to be transported to hospital by road vehicle! "

I completely agree with this. A patient must be transported to hospital by road vehicle only after their condition is stablised.
