How Does An Air Ambulance Service Work?

Accidents and other emergency requirements occur on a continual basis and when somebody needs treatment urgently it is often the case that every second matters greatly. Simply due to how the world is in terms of geographical locations and the considerable distances that separate places it is not always immediately possible to deliver everyone to hospital quickly via an ambulance that travels on the roads. To assist with this constant requirement there are air ambulances that are deployed to reach people as quickly as possible and to take them to the closest hospital as safely and as swiftly as they can.

Paramedics

Although it may be suggested that the way in which an air ambulance reaches their destinations is not at all similar to how a road ambulance does, the tasks of the paramedics involved does not change hugely. This is evidenced by the fact that there are many paramedics who have undertaken both air and road ambulance duties during their career. The paramedics also help out the pilot in the respect of identifying the quickest and safest route as well as getting involved in other key tasks. You can appreciate just how multi-functional an air ambulance paramedic’s role is when you consider that they also have to get involved with such duties as keeping in contact with staff at the hospital and those in charge of air traffic control, to name but two.

Type of transportation

You can find air ambulances that use helicopters as well as those that use different types of aircraft such as a Learjet. In the types of air ambulances that are smaller than their road-travelling equivalents all of the necessary equipment and facilities are condensed into the space on board. In terms of how many patients are permitted to be on board an air ambulance at any one time this can vary. You can find those that allow just one or two to be on board whereas some others can accommodate more than ten patients.

The biggest reasons behind why an air ambulance would be used in a situation is when the location that a patient has to be taken from is unreachable by road or when it is deemed extremely important to cut down the amount of journey time for the well-being of those requiring treatment. An air ambulance service can cover an area of a few thousand square-feet and they always check over the patient when they reach the scene before making a decision on which hospital to go to.

Should Hebrews go to the Doctor?

Physicians are referred to about a dozen times throughout the Bible. The only verse that could be taken out of context to teach that one should not go to physicians would be 2 Chronicles 16:12.

"In the thirtyninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the the ETERNAL, but only from the physicians."

But this particular case involved Asa's whole outlook on life in his later years (that of turning his back on Elohim at an earlier point in his life). His sin? NO trust in the ETERNAL. TOTAL trust in doctors. Lack of balance!!! Are your medical views in, or out of balance, one way or the other?

There are many verses that speak of using "medical treatments" such as applying bandages (Isaiah 1:6), oil (James 5:14), oil and wine (Luke 10:34), leaves (Ezekiel 47:12), wine (1 Timothy 5:23), and salves, particularly the "balm of Gilead" (Jeremiah 8:22).  

Mark 5:25-30 relates the story of a woman who had trouble with continual bleeding, a problem that physicians could not heal even though she had been to many of them and had spent all of her money on them. Coming to YEHSHIYEH, she thought to herself that if she but touched the hem of His garment/His tzitzit, she would be healed, and she was.  YEHSHIYEH  never rebuked her for visiting doctors all her life!  YEHSHIYEH , in answering the questioning Pharisees as to why he spent time with sinners said to them, �Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick" (Matthew 9:12).  YEHSHIYEH  clearly recognizes the need and validity of doctors, comparing the physical realm�s need for doctors�, with the spiritual realm�s need for HIMSELF as THE Spiritual Healer of all of mankind! Moreover based on Matthew 9:12 we see that:

Should Believers go to Doctors?

Physicians are referred to about a dozen times throughout the Bible. The only verse that could be taken out of context to teach that one should not go to physicians would be 2 Chronicles 16:12.

"In the thirtyninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the YHWH, but only from the physicians."

Also Luke, the author of Acts and the Gospel of Luke, is referred to by Paul as "the beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14). If visiting doctors was somehow sinful, Rav Shaul would not have travelled with Luke and had him as a ministry partner!

Mark 5:25-30 relates the story of a woman who had trouble with continual bleeding, a problem that physicians could not heal even though she had been to many of them and had spent all of her money on them. Coming to Yahshua, she thought to herself that if she but touched the hem of His garment/His tzitzit, she would be healed, and she was. Yahshua never rebuked her for visiting doctors all her life! Yahshua, in answering the questioning Pharisees as to why he spent time with sinners said to them, �Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick" (Matthew 9:12). Yahshua clearly recognizes the need and validity of doctors, comparing the physical realm�s need for doctors�, with the spiritual realm�s need for HIMSELF as THE Spiritual Healer of all of mankind! Moreover based on Matthew 9:12 we see that:

1) Physicians are not Elohim and should not be viewed as such. They sometimes can help, but there will be other times when all they will accomplish is the removal of money.

2) Seeking physicians and using "earthly" remedies are not condemned in Scripture, but rather seem to have been used throughout Scripture.

3) Elohim's intervention in any physical difficulty should be sought (James 4:2; 5:13). He does not promise us that He will answer the way we will always want (Isaiah 55:8-9), but we have the assurance that all He does will be done in love and thus in our best interest (Psalm 145:8-9).

So, should Nazarene Yisraelites go to doctors? Elohim created us as intelligent beings and gave us the ability to create medicines and learn how to repair our bodies. There is nothing wrong with applying this knowledge and ability towards physical healing. Doctors can be viewed as Elohim�s gift to us, a means through which Elohim brings healing and recovery. At the same time, our ultimate faith and trust is to be in Yahweh, not doctors or medicine. As with all the difficult decisions we face in life, Elohim promises to give us wisdom when we ask for it (James 1:5), so we know how to pursue all available venues of healing.
