[Scan-DC] UP Park Police incident

[Blair Thompson]

There was a lengthy discussion about three or four years ago at Scan-DC about the wisdom of waiting for a helicopter vs. just taking the patient to a hospital in an ambulance. I can't find the thread right now.

They're transporting to Georgetown, by ground. 

Based on past incidents, I'm surprised they didn't call in a medical
helicopter, taking 45 minutes to fly in, locate a landing zone, land,
transport to helicopter, load, depart, and fly 1000 ft to Georgetown.
Makes about as much sense as when they took 45 minutes to pick up a
patient in Arlington to fly to Georgetown. Could have taken them there
on a bicycle in half that time.
