Photo: Patient being loaded into ambulance

Concluding this series that I have been showing, the paramedics loaded a patient into the ambulance.  Fortunately, it is only about one mile to Scottsdale Memorial Hospital, which is a level 1 trauma center with outstanding emergency room facilities and staff.

The paramedics were exercising care and were not rushing, so it appeared that the patient was not experiencing a severe emergency, although I am sure the situation was very serious to her and her loved ones.

This week we have photos of the giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
