back to the helicopter comment. it is because not all hospitals have the resources to have one, neither do all have a helipad.
where i work, we are fortunate to have a helicopter and our own pad, however all the other hospitals here dont, and if a helicopter is sent to the other hospitals the chopper has to land in a nearby big enough park and the police have to be there to close is down temporarily. also in that case an ambulance must be waiting to finish the rest of the journy off by road.
therefore it is not always the best solution to use a chopper.
