title: Critical care retrieval revisited.
abstract: In 2000, the Journal of the Royal Naval Medical Service published an account of critical care retrieval experience written by Adrian Mellor and based on his time spent with CareFlight in Sydney, Australia. Having recently completed a term with the same organisation, I wanted to reiterate the usefulness of such an attachment. The purpose of this article is therefore to compare my experiences with those of Surgeon Commander Mellor and to provide an update on the work involved in critical care retrieval within New South Wales.
