Air Ambulance

Sponsored Post

I never knew there was such a thing as air ambulance service when I was young. It never crossed my mind that such a service would be necessary. After all, I figured you went to the hospital and stayed until you got well -- or until you died.

And then family tragedy hit. My grandmother remarried to a wonderful man who swept her off her feet and promised to provide for her very well. He showed her a marvelous couple of years -- and then came the day that his cancer struck. He went into the hospital for treatment -- but the cancer was way too aggressive to be treated in the local hospital, and he was advised to head over 300 miles to a hospital in a major city associated with a very prestigious medical school. But the question was how to get this frail old man there -- because it was going to be at least seven hours by car.

And that is where an air ambulance service entered the picture. My uncle hooked up with a company that provided this critical medical transportation service. They made arrangements to get this sick family member from his hospital bed in a rural hospital to the local airport, and from there to a business airport just a few miles from the new hospital -- and then checked in. Total time from bed to bed? Only a little over four hours, and they were even able to continue his treatment in the process. Some months later, this same service brought him home, as the doctors pronounced his case terminal, these same folks brought him home again with great care and dignity. Indeed, they made the whole process as painless for him and the family as it could have been.

Now you know I do my advertising through PayPerPost, and I take available offers as they come up. By interesting coincidence, that same air ambulance service is now one of their advertisers. They are called Air Ambulance America. And while I profoundly hope you do not need ever need their services, I hope you will remember them if you ever do.
