Narrative:
After medevacing 2 patients to anc, we refueled, picked up our medics and departed panc to pabr to begin another medevac (new crew). We anticipated using runway 32 and were cleared to depart with the knik 5 procedure. Apparently an emergency was in progress (fire trucks waiting) and tower asked if we could accept runway 6L. I accepted, and we were cleared for takeoff. I had mistakenly reviewed the anc 2 departure. This called for a right turn to heading 190 degrees. The knik 5 called for left turn to heading 330 degrees. Departure control gave us the correct heading and questioned our initial clearance. We responded with the heading change and verified our initial clearance.
