Recently, my wife and I received the kind of phone call no parent wants to hear: our 19 year-old son was in a serious accident while traveling in Mexico, and he required immediate surgery and specialized care. And while we were lucky he was attended to by an excellent doctor in Mexico, we were advised he needed to be transported to Los Angeles immediately for more specialized surgery. We needed to secure an air ambulance, staffed with both expert pilots, as well as medical staff, to pick up my son in Mexico, and fly him internationally to Los Angeles, while also dealing with all the logistics and paperwork that accompany this kind of discharge. And this needed to happen in the next 24 hours. After multiple attempts, with flaky services and non-responsive companies, we connected with Richard Abbara at Advanced Air Ambulance. He was used to dealing with people at their most stressed, with real life stakes where time was of the essence. He assured us he would get our son to Los Angeles by the next day. Plans were made, paperwork managed (visas, passports, discharge instructions), and a plane with a fantastic crew showed up in Puerto Vallarta as scheduled. And a few hours later, my son was in Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles getting the care he urgently needed. We are incredibly grateful to Richard and his team at Air Ambulance, and their service is extraordinary during the most stressful moments a family can endure.
