So what have I been up to since I got here?  A lot of flying, and a lot of patient transport.  Its a completely different experience this time than last time.  I am usually back in my own bed at night, missions don’t go on for hours and hours without rest, and I am flying overhead instead of driving or walking through the streets.

So far I have had several routine transfers to the hospital north of here from units in the south.  I also had a couple of trauma patients that the TMC here stabilized and then sent north as well.  In fact, almost everything we take is headed north to one of two major hospitals in our area, and that brings about a different challenge I’ll talk about later.  I did expect there to be more Point of Injury missions than there have been, but I guess that’s a good thing.  It means our guys aren’t getting hurt out there as much anymore.
