It's important to note that there are no peds ICU beds in Fairbanks.  Our peds special care are first transferred to Anchorage where they are evaluated for transfer to either Seattle or Oregon.

Hope her nursing board sees this.  Should be good for license suspension.

Same in my town.  2.5 hours away to pediatric ICU but people just tell me I'm being overly-cautious.  But, hey, if they don't mind putting their lives on hold to live in a strange city while their kid is sick, why should I?  It's a shame people are so careless with their own kids.  It's not like the kids have an opportunity to pick better parents and didn't:)

Anchorage is an hour flight from Fairbanks over the highest mountain range on the continent. Seattle is a 3.5 hour flight from Anchorage.

I had a flight nurse friend killed in a heli crash transporting a patient.  It was a foggy night.  Our hospital started land transportation after that.  Flying over huge mountains is really scary, especially with a patient onboard and the impetus to do stuff in a hurry.

Horseshoe,

This is right up there with the worst comments I have ever read on this website.

What you have chosen to demonstrate here *IS* the problem.

Yes … but I think my definition of “the problem” might be quite different from yours.

The woman stated she was a Christian before suggesting that other people be murdered. I suggest she is NOT a Christian because her words and behavior are the exact opposite of what Christians are supposed to be for and about. That is also why I have quotes around the word Christian.

All medical flights are fixed wing from Fairbanks to Anchorage because of the altitude, cold and risk for trouble.

So you believe this woman threatening the school board in the name of religion is actually representing religion as a benevolent force?  Does she not give her religion an ugliness with threats of violence?

That's another thread on "choosing to be offended". This thread is about dishonesty in the push back against pandemic mitigation.
