== General Patient Transfer Procedures ==
Usually, a patient will be loaded by the personnel aboard the helicopter, and patrollers will not have to approach the
helicopter. In such cases, the primary consideration is to have a clearly marked landing site, and to keep the patient a
sufficient distance from the landing site to assure patient safety and comfort during the landing. Often the helicopter will be able 
to provide medical supplies, however it is in the patients best interests to be fully packaged and ready for transport before the helicopter arrives.
