Hey Everybody! Yes that is me in a helicopter! Last weekend I had the great privilege of being a ride along for a day with Lifeguard. Lifeguard is an air ambulance up here in Alaska and they are wonderful! I got to spend about 12 hours with these amazing nurses, paramedics, and pilots!
We truly appreciate these guys and see them on a fairly regular basis out a CRMC where the quickest way to get a patient into Anchorage is to fly them. We call it a medivac. Since coming out here I've been wanting to take the opportunity to learn from these guys and I finally had the chance : )
I'd never ridden in a helicopter before. It's kind of like riding in a balloon I definitely recommend trying it sometime : )
This past month God has blessed me with many opportunities for education and training. Please continue to pray for us out here! We are the only medical center for an area the size of Ohio and the distance between us and the patient can be frustrating at times. Pray for everybody serving the Copper River Basin that we could get to each patient quickly, safely, and get them the physical and spiritual care they need.
God Bless
Kari
