A third possibility not mentioned is that if you transport by chopper you are presumably more likely to end up at a major trauma center rather than the closest trauma unit.
It's always been unclear to me whether you can/should ask an ambulance to transport a potential cardiac/stroke victim to one of the three major Boston hospitals rather than the local (perfectly adequate for most stuff) ER.
