The Double Medevac Experience

To those who arent sure medevac stands for medical evacuation,it's one of the fastest mode of transport to those in Sarawak especially from the interior.When i was in Kapit i actually had the oppurtunity to escort 2 patients from Kapit to Sibu then back to Kapit and to sibu in one day,it's crazy,but they were really short of mo's,what a day,but the view from above was just heavenly,thank god i have always been blessed not to have motion sickness,my poor nurse wasnt so lucky tho,ambubagging the patient in air is not easy either

It takes 40mins each way.And the worst part we do not have any medical insurance,so u can imagine what we think or feel when the copter is swaying,the worst case scenarios do cross your mind,so we stupidly take our risk,but it's one of the best experiences i must say the docotor's working in sarawak have.I may be weird,but i would rather die than not have experienced it:P
