Re: Helicopters and Grumpiness

I live by the hospital too and have also noticed an increase in helicopter activity lately since we have our own medical helicopter service. Lately I have had the good fortune of meeting someone that works for this service. He has been in Montrose training the helicopter EMTs. This is a whole different ball game than being an EMT on solid ground. They have had to make numerous flights both day and night for training purposes. This is why we have been hearing the helicopter fly over us so often. It has nothing to do with the amount of flights that they will do on a daily basis. Maybe the hospital should have communicated this with the people that live in the area. I've found that good communication can keep misunderstandings from happening, or at least try to anyway.
