As a former resident of Fort McPherson (and family of RCMP stationed there) there was also a huge mess whenever there was the need to medivac someone out. You'd think there would be a concrete plan for transporting people out of there in emergencies, but instead it usually consisted of the nurse calling the RCMP in McPhoo, saying they needed someone taken to Inuvik hospital immediately, then there would be squabbling between Inuvik-McPhoo-Tsiigehtchic health clinics, and then eventually someone would finally make the call to get a chopper there or whatever.<BR/>Isn't there an emergency airstrip on the road at the edge of town there? I can't quite remember....Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707629451492983317noreply@blogger.com
