MEDEVAC

Definition

Medical Evacuation — emergency transport of wounded personnel, usually by helicopter. It is the world's most intense ambulance ride, complete with a helicopter, a medic who has seen things, and zero concern for speed limits. The co-pay is surprisingly reasonable.

Example Usage

"MEDEVAC arrived in four minutes flat. That's faster than any civilian ambulance, pizza delivery, or response to a text from your ex."
