Then about 5:00pm on Tuesday, a 50-year-old woman was flown from the same hospital for treatment for a medical condition.
About 8:00pm,a man in his 60s with a cardiac condition was airlifted from Nanango Hospital for treatment at Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane.
Then at dawn on Wednesday, a helicopter was called out to Cherbourg to help a woman in her 60s suffering a severe infection. She was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition.
About 4:00pm, CareFlight was called to Kingaroy Hospital again for another inter-hospital transfer, this time for a middle-aged woman suffering a neurological condition who was airlifted to Toowoomba Hospital.
