Dave Branton, Flight Nurse
My Job
Diverse Environment
Depending on where you're going, it can be challenging getting to and from the aircraft. Sometimes I have to take a truck across a frozen lake to get to the health centre or bring a patient across by boat. One time the only way we could transport the patient was by skidoo. It can be unpredictable at times.
Being out there in -40 with a howling wind can present its own challenges, like keeping the patient warm but also keeping your equipment warm and safe.
