When a police officer is injured in the line of duty, every minute counts. The same goes for their K-9 partners. A medical chopper service in Texas aims to protect those loyal four-legged officers.
The Memorial Hermann Life Flight s helicopter fleet is now equipped to triage K-9 officers and get them to vet clinics quickly.
“Once we get them on board the aircraft we ll start doing definitive care, such as airway management, oxygen administration, IV fluid administration,” said Memorial Hermann Health System’s Tom Flanagan.
How are medics, who have been treating human patients for so long, taking on the challenge?
