ALEXANDRIA, Minn. 鈥� A flight paramedic who was critically hurt in a medical helicopter crash in September is on the road the recovery.
reported that Miles Weske was released from the hospital Nov. 18 and is set to return to work Jan. 1. He鈥檚 also getting married to his fianc茅e, Brooklyn Weber, Jan. 28.
鈥淚t really is a new chapter of my life being home with Brook and the kids,鈥� Weske said. 鈥淎ll of those in the hospital that cared for me were critical parts of my recovery, but I think that it took me actually being home to get the motivated to get out and bed and work hard to get back to as normal as I can be.鈥�
Three months ago, Weske was in the back seat of a helicopter when it crashed north of the Alexandria Municipal Airport. The helicopter was en route to pick up a patient before poor weather forced a landing at the airport.
Pilot Joshua Jones, 47, and flight nurse Scott Scepaniak, 44, were also in the helicopter. They were both in serious condition, but were later released from the hospital.
鈥淚 have realized the impact that EMS workers and hospital personnel have on the medical care of patients,鈥� Weske said. 鈥淏eing on this side of things definitely makes me take time to look at everyone who is involved in the collaborative effort of patient care. I wouldn鈥檛 be here without the help of each person that was present that night.鈥�
Weske said he won鈥檛 be in a helicopter in the near future, but that he鈥檚 excited to return to work.
鈥淚 am a paramedic. I always will be and I want to get back in that helicopter as soon as I can.鈥�
