WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT —

When a loved one is away from home, on vacation or living in a different city, the one thing you might no be thinking about is getting sick or injured and needing to “get home” or somewhere else.  It happens all the time!

Working part time for the medical transport company MEDCoach  exposes me to situations that might make up nightmares!  A nightmare might be easier to handle than all the decisions that have to be made to arrange for a medical transport when conventional travel is not possible.  And timeliness is sometimes a major factor.

For instance, there was a call recently from George M. in UT whose 93-year-old mother was living on her own in CA, and getting along just great.  “She was amazing – she could handle you and me both, and put us in our place!” he said.  “Then three weeks ago, she bumped her leg, got a clot, and it has been down hill since then.”

He had to find a way to get his mother comfortably to Utah so he could take care of her. She needed a less expensive option to an air ambulance flight i.e. a ground medical transport unit.  (And we were able to help him.)

There was another anxious call from John N. in WA who needed to get his father from his winter vacation home in AZ, where he had a stroke and was in a nursing home.  He wanted his Dad home, in Spokane, so that he could manage his nursing home care more closely.  Dad was bed ridden, a bit confused, needed help eating, and he was on oxygen.  He could not travel with a flight nurse on a commercial airline as he was bed ridden.

Tough to look after him from long distance!

During the past 60 days, we have given more than 300 requests  for non- emergency medical transportation.  We easily have received an equal number of calls from loved ones who had similar problems and needed patient transportation services but didn’t ask for a quote.  You name the medical circumstance, and you can be sure someone, somewhere in United States has experienced the need to get a loved one transported by an air ambulance medical flight or by ground ambulance / long distance ground transport.

Most people may never have that need, but because you are reading this means you’ve thought about it and you are seeking some assistance and knowledge about what’s available.
