Elevator to the Flight Deck

Up to six litter patients can be carried at any one time.

This is the best way for an immobilized patient to reach the Medical Department. The other alternative is to come down the ramp that ultimately leads to the Well Deck. This ramp is very steep, so it is usually safer to bring the patient down in the elevator.
