Good luck with that when you have a brain hemorrhage, or tension pneumothorax coming on.
The vast majority of transports from HPR are by ground, usually with a handoff to Strasburg EMS in Byers. Occasionally a helo is warranted, and as the decision is not taken lightly, neither should yours be on whether you'd rather be broke or dead.
Put another way - I know all of the EMT's and medics that work HPR personally and professionally, and would trust them with my life. If they say I need to get to da choppa, I need to get to da choppa.
