Emergency workers responded Wednesday morning to the 900 block of New Hampshire Street, where they found an injured man on the sidewalk near the parking garage.
Eve Tolefree, Lawrence-Douglas Fire Medical Division Chief, said crews were dispatched to the scene at about 9:30 a.m., and found a man in critical condition stemming from a traumatic injury. Tolefee said they did not have other details about the case to release.
The man was flown by air ambulance to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.
First responders load a patient onto an air ambulance at Hobbs Park at about 9:30 am on Sept. 26, 2012, after the patient was injured in the 900 block of New Hampshire street.

Not much room to disagree with you on your sentiment towards sierraclub, but
a) scientifically speaking people (humans) are animals. They belong to the Kingdom Animalia.
b) I have met many non-human animals that I much rather spend time with and like a lot more than some of the A-hole humans I have met in my 50 years of life. Hell, I have met piles of manure that I would rather spend time with then some of those people I have met.

Sierra : Since you are so critical about a variety of things, if I might I will criticize your spelling acumen.

And "curtsey" to you blindrabbit. Not quite the same spelling but close. I could not resist.

Curious as to why sierra thinks it is paid for by Lawrence taxpayers. I know from personal experience that the patient and/or his insurance company is charged. Is Lawrence required to pay for it if is not otherwise paid?

Maybe because our local ambulance service is jointly owned by the City of Lawrence and Douglas County. Thus the name Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Med.

I was not aware that the city had an air ambulance, I thought they came from neighboring cities.

So was this one of the resident homeless?

If this individual was in some way behaving badly, perhaps drunk and urinating in public, or cussing at passersby, or somehow creating a disturbance, your question might have some relevance. However, having been described simply as injured and in critical condition, I fail to see how your question has merit.

Do you have a point to make or are you simply curious about the individual's income level?

What a bunch of malicious remarks. I hope the guy is ok. I wish him and his family the best.
