Driving by our local hospital saw the helicopter on the pad. Patients are usually flown to one of the larger hospitals in Peoria. My brother had one of these rides, needed 5 heart valves replaced.

He did for several years and a pacemaker. 92 when he passed.
He preferred water to planes, in the Merchant Marines, before being drafted into the Army.
I can remember lying in hospital awaiting surgery and every time one of these landed, everyone in my ward said "that's us bumped down the list again!" Though clearly emergencies have to take priority.
It's amazing what the time these machines save help with a positive outcome. The reason they need the ride might not be good, but getting to help faster? Very good! Good catch.
