Meanwhile back at the hospital:

Finally the conditions were right (no rain and not too much frost) and the extension to the helipad was poured today.

The helipad is part of our Lady Minto Hospital, which is small and does not have a surgery at the moment in spite of spending a few million to renovate the O.R. (politics, politics, politics)

It is fun living next door to the helipad, particularly when the chopper comes in at 03:00 hrs. A picture of this can be found in my Folio Helicopter Ambulance.
