There is now question as to why Sharon was taken to hospital by ambulance rather than by helicopter. Sources state that the trek to the hospital took over an hour and that the hemorrhage took place during that time. Sharon entered the hospital in an unconscious state.

Wow, that's very interesting/troubling. Has there been any confirmation of this from another source?

With the hospital only an hour away, getting a medical helicopter, flying, landing can sometimes take as long or longer then an ambulance. This can be especially true if the ambulance is sitting right there, ready to go.

Another possible reason could be in consideration of a low platlet count (easy bleeding). Helicopters can be deferred if the patient is bleeding very easily in fear of a "hard landing". Oddly enough I was talking to someone just yesterday morning who had to be taken once via ambulance for this very reason.

Just some possible considerations.
