Liz McConaghy deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan with the RAF as a chinook helicopter crewman. She regularly witnessed death and trauma while picking up seriously injured soldiers from the battlefield as part of the Medical Emergency Response Team or MERT.

Liz’s first brush with death came when her helicopter struck some overhead wires. Years later she would face it again in her own home.
