Got her out and up as the helo landed very smooth and she got the care she needed. Another time in an urban setting a young man tumbled down a hill and they got a bird in the air. No assessment was done by medics or fire rescue crew. Flew pt. to trauma center even though an ambulance could have gotten him to a well equipped hospital within 10 min. After arriving to a trauma center was discharged with very minor bumps and bruises and light scratches. I do think mech. of injury, location, resources, weather, and time, should all be considered en route before calling in hems.
