in a hospital in Queretaro, one hour from San Miguel.
A call was made to SkyMed early that Monday morning. Later that afternoon they were transported by ground ambulance from the hospital in Queretaro to the airport where a Lear jet staffed with a critical care nurse and pulmonary therapist was waiting for them. The staff ensured they had all the necessary equipment and tested everything prior to getting Guy’s stretcher on board. The pilots stood ready to take off the moment they had clearance and two and a half hours later they arrived in Tucson.
Coming in from Mexico it was necessary to clear customs in Tucson but, due to the emergency, the staff boarded the plane to gather documents and everything was accomplished quickly and efficiently. A ground ambulance was waiting to transport the Scholeys to the University Medical Center where a bed and the entire ICU staff were waiting for Guy.
Linda said, “SkyMed came through for our family. Thanks to the diligent work of the staff members to make it all happen, Guy was transported out, taken care of on the flight, and ended up exactly where he needed to be. We will always be grateful and thankful for SkyMed’s excellent service and kindness to their members.”
