Flight Nurse Founds Survivors Network for Air and Surface Medical Transport.

From Seattle Times

As her emergency medical helicopter began to plummet after losing power while lifting off with a patient from an Olympia hospital, flight nurse Krista Haugen couldn’t help thinking “not again.”

One month earlier, three of her colleagues at Airlift Northwest were killed when their helicopter crashed into Puget Sound near Edmonds, The News Tribune ( http://is.gd/wd8w1V) reported in Monday’s newspaper.

Though PTSD cut short one part of her professional life, it led to the start of another: She helped form the Survivors Network for Air and Surface Medical Transport.
