Cover art by Alice Yi. Description: An air ambulance sits on a helipad a short distance away from a hospital. At first glance, these buildings look like they can be from anywhere, but upon closer inspection, the unmistakable countours of Victoria Hospital reveal themselves. Victoria Hospital is the only hospital in the London Health Sciences network that services trauma patients, and is the designated Lead Trauma Hospital for all of Southwestern Ontario. Due to the large population that LHSC serves—and large distances between populations—air ambulances are often essential for timely patient transport. These helicopters have become a sign of how far technology and infrastructure have come in trauma and disaster medicine, and how we can bring further advancements to the field.
