IDAHO FALLS — The EastIdahoNews.com team is highlighting different jobs in our area and every Monday for the next several weeks, we’ll be workin’ it in a variety of professions.

Have you ever seen a rescue helicopter fly over town, or through the mountains, and wondered what it’s like to take care of people in the sky? How do they do it?

Air Idaho Rescue and Air Methods brought us on-board to learn what it’s like to take care of patients in emergency situations, during what can often become the worst days of a patient’s lives.

As I learned, it takes a very special person to be able to care for people in such a high-stress environment, but what really makes the dream work – is the teamwork behind it.
