Another silly study: http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/04/17/us-trauma-patients-taken-by-chopper-may-idINBRE83G0UL20120417 Trauma Patients Taken by Chopper May Fair Better People who suffer serious injuries may have a better chance of surviving if they're taken to a trauma center by a helicopter instead of an ambulance, suggests new research. The study's lead author said he doesn't know for sure why a helicopter is better than an ambulance or other ground transportation, but two possibilities are the speed of transport and the medical team on the chopper.Yeah, speed might have something to do with it, LOL.
