The Thursday after we got back from San Diego I had the opportunity to do a ride-a-long with LifeNet air-evac. The base was located in Florence, what a place...I got there about 10:30a and met with Jeryl the flight nurse who also works part-time at MVMC who invited me along for the ride. After meeting the flight paramedic and the pilot we went over some safety training and where my seat would be and what would happen if we did get a call. After that we went to a mom/pop place to have a sandwich and back to headquarters to hang out and wait for a call. Well about 2p they were placed on hold with Florence prison and then they were called out. Well because it was with Florence prison I didn't get to go :(, the guard would be taking my seat with the prisoner. So at that point I left to come home and just as I was coming around the corner to home there was the air-evac over head transporting the patient. I was invited back to do another ride-a-long and I sure do plan to. Lots of fun can't wait to go again!
