Chopper Rescue ; Series 2, Episode 1 |
| Summary |
From the ocean to the outback, helicopter rescue crews save lives and face near death challenges every day. Chopper Rescue follows the work of the doctors, paramedics, rescue officers and aircrews who are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They cover huge distances across Queensland, from the remote outback and tropics to the outermost limits of The Great Barrier Reef.Working in difficult remote locations and in cramped conditions in mid air, the doctors and paramedics safely deliver patients to hospital and along the way deliver hospital-standard care.Chopper Rescue is genuine life and death human drama.This week the Chopper Rescue team attend two emergencies in outback Queensland. A seven-year-old boy needs intensive emergency care after riding his motor bike into a barbed wire fence on a farming property, while in south-west central Queensland a 75-year-old sugar cane farmer is close to losing his life after being trapped in an irrigation ditch under his over-turned tractor.
