Medevacs do vex me...

Illegal photo from the flightline. Plane is in the background

What's more annoying? Dailey rocket attacks, medevacs or the fact hat we have new smoke alarms in our rooms that flash a red light and beep every minute. I am the king of the medevac. Medevac Mark, that's me. It took me over twenty four hours to get a guy out of here that had a big heart attack. Basically only 20% of his heart is working. The Role 3 is a trauma center not a cardiac center. They did an amazing job because they have a new Cardiologist there who kicked ass. All I could think was, " this man needs E, worlds greatest CCU nurse. The queen of cardiology." But instead, he got Medevac Mark. He is a subcontractor. My nemesis on the medevac front. No one wants to pay for these guys. Because only the ex-pats get insurance here. And he is Indian. If you work for DYN directly, we've got you covered. But the subs, not so much. But after many emails, his employer stepped up to the plate and paid the bill. Only took me 24 hours of begging and pleading. And they sent a real air ambulance. We took him in our ambulance to the flight line. I was looking for a particular tail number. I spotted a falcon jet on  a taxiway, "Can you see the tail number?" I asked the corpsman who was driving our ambulance. "No sir," she said," but it says 'air ambulance' on the side." Ok, I'm only a dumb PA, but I'm guessing that's our plane. And it was. Of he went to New Delhi. Cool.
Now there is a beeping smoke alarm in the room next to me. Hmmm, we have had a rocket attack a day. Maybe I can aim it at this beeping torture device? Overkill? Sorry, disregard...
