[Scan-DC] Arlington setting up landing zone

[cohenner at gmail.com]

I know that in MD, MIEMSS has a decision tree that paramedics use to determine whether or not medevac should be used. Sometimes, due to the seriousness of the injury, it is better to leave the injured person on the ground and wait for air transport, then drive them to the hospital. Remember, air travel is much smoother...

For a working code for a 70-year-old woman who fell down some rocks at the 
dog park at Arlington Mill and Four Mile Run. Landing zone is Wakefield HS.

I still don't understand the concept of helicopters when you're in the 
middle of a darn city. And it's Sunday afternoon. No traffic. They could be 
at the hospital faster by ambulance.
