Next time you're stuck at home and wondering if your job is glamorous enough you might want to check out "Mountain Rescue" on the Travel channel on Sky. It's all about the paramedic/doctors RRU in Chamonix in Switzerland. Rather than getting a warmed over Astra Estate or upmarket Skoda Octavia they get a big red helicopter. It seems to have a double advantage.You get to look really cool in shades and you can bypass the traffic completely. The downside (which will make you feel really at home) is that they get to help really dumb members of the public. Although there are way fewer drunks fighting you do get plenty of people who have gone up Mont Blanc and then discovered that it gets really cold and needed airlifting off because of incoming frostbite. Treatment ? A footbath straight from yer mums catalog.
