Lol this hospital is in a super fancy uppity area and the neighboring houses got together and actually threatened to sue because life flight was landing too often and was too loud…….I literally cannot imagine ever being so stupid and self absorbed
@RNSuperHero
That happened in chicago in an uppity neighborhood. So they nixed the helipad on that hospital and put one on the children’s hospital next door.
@RNSuperHero
Supposedly this is the exact reason most life flights with pts intended for my hospital get routed to other helipads and then have to take ground transport…
@RNSuperHero
I know this isn’t the same, but we recently had a code, and the patients son next door came INTO the coding patients room told us to turn our code alarm off because it was scaring his dad and was giving him a headache. I’ve never seen my charge get so angry and yell at someone😳
@RNSuperHero
This is way more common than you think. When I was a flight nurse, nobody could land at a hospital in SAN FRANCISCO. We had to ground transport everyone from SFO. I think now there’s one hospital with a helipad.
@RNSuperHero
I didn't experience this during a code but during a rapid that was honestly terrifying had a family member call the nurses station and started yelling to the tech about the noise 🙃🙃🙃
@RNSuperHero
Absolutely believable.
I've had people come out of their homes and tell us to turn off the ambulance we were sitting in as we were waiting for assignments....in winter...in NYC.

The UCSF Benioff Med Ctr helipad receives "critically ill newborns, children and pregnant women"
...but my afternoon nap!
These type of people are and have been always around
