    The other day, the snowy commute proved horrendous. At the rollover between Peekskill Hollow and Bryant Pond Roads, so many Good Samaritans intervened and helped a hurt, scared lady who skidded off the road in her minivan and came to a stop on the vehicle's side against a tree.
    Thank you to the off-duty EMT I saw running into the woods toward her vehicle. Thanks to the guy trained as a first-responder who also was a life-long Boy Scout who just wanted to help if he could. Thanks especially to the several off-duty NYSTroopers who stopped, provided invaluable scene safety (with loaned flares- ahem) and helped to speed up the BLS response. And thanks, George the medic, for getting there to relieve me and allow me to get to work in the local ER (looking and feeling much like a wet, half-drowned rat).
    Evereytime I start to think that people in general just suck and don't care about anyone but themselves, Good Samaritans like the ones I met the other day prove me wrong and restore my faith in mankind.
    Thanks, all of you, for that.

  10. helicopper liked a post in a topic by Billy in Use of Medevacs in Westchester   
    Correct me if I'm wrong about this but it seems that there has been a definite decrease in the use of the helicopter in Westchester since Stat Flight left the Medical Center. Are there any numbers to back this up? There have been some discussions on these forums in the past about the use or misuse of helicopter landings and if there has been a decrease in calls for it, does this prove that it was sometimes being called when not really needed? Not criticizing anyone or any Department here just making an observation.
    Any opinions?
