An emergency call comes in. Moments later, an emergency helicopter lifts off from the Berlin Accident Hospital (ukb) in Marzahn. On board are a pilot, an emergency doctor and a paramedic – a well-rehearsed team for missions where routine, precision and time can be critical.
Their destination is the small town of Lübben in Brandenburg, where a patient with severe burns is waiting. He needs to be taken quickly to the ukb’s specialised burns centre. For the crew, this is a familiar routine.
