UW Health Chief Flight Physician: Single-Engine Helicopters ‘Have No Place’ In EMS

Quoted: Dr. Michael Abernethy, chief flight physician of UW Health Med Flight in Madison, does not believe the Eurocopter AS 350 should have been flying.”You’d be hard pressed to find a physician in the United States who has spent more time in the back of a helicopter caring for patients. I’ve been doing it for almost 30 years,” Abernethy said.
