Interesting that as a pilot his view is that the air ambulance crew, in essence, scare off the land ambulance crews rather than joining them to form a cohesive team. very interesting insider/outsider view of that phenomena.

Interesting jokes at the front and amply covered. Having flown some 400+ incident-free HEMS flights in EC 130 in single-piloted conditions with a lone doctor on board, I can relate to it very much. I'm sure, 2 pilots and 2 medical persons (1 doctor + 1 para medic/ nurse) is a much better and safer practice.
