"John and Dr Maria Smith, who was onboard with me, sedated the patient . He suffered a head injury, fractured right arm and facial injuries - due to the nature of his injuries he was time critical and as soon as we were able, he was flown to Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, where a trauma team was on standy."
