Saying that something exciting is always happening in the medical flight world is stating the obvious. Any emergency service for that matter brings with it an element of shock and awe. Here, we bring you some news that is worthy of your attention.
Drone in Netherland Hinders Medical Flight Movement
A medical flight carrying a patient had to take a diversion and head back due to a fairly large drone blocking it midway. It was reported that the drone had come dangerously close to the air ambulance. Efforts were later made to track the owner of the drone. It was even revealed that there was only one man in the area who owns a drone. However, further investigations revealed that he was not flying the drone in question. The investigations are on to find out who the culprit was.

Medical Director of REVA Awarded
The medical director, Dr. David A. Farcy, of REVA, which is a medical flight company, was recently honoured by Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce’s Pillar Board.
