Most people in Saskatchewan hear the STARS helicopter and think “wow.”
The crews inside hear stress, pressure and another family having the worst day of their life.
Advanced care paramedics trying to keep somebody alive in the back of a flying tin can bouncing through prairie weather.
Flight nurses making critical decisions at 2 in the morning running on experience, adrenaline and caffeine.
Pilots flying in conditions most people wouldn’t even drive in while carrying a crew focused on saving a life before time runs out.
People love calling them heroes. Fair enough.
But behind all that are human beings carrying some pretty heavy mental baggage home after shift.
The public sees the helicopter land.
They don’t see the silence afterward.
The replaying calls.The missed sleep.The dark humour.The emotional shutdown some days just trying to reset enough to do it all over again tomorrow.
That aircraft doesn’t just carry patients across Saskatchewan.
It carries the weight of the people inside it too.
