The operator has to wear Kevlar to protect themselves from the blades. This one is from Slow Horses, but I've read that they also used in technique in Hacks.

In the clip shown I’m not understanding why someone had to grab the camera, why it can’t just be done the entire time as a drone shot

The full take is slightly over 2 minutes - it continues to track the woman get up and go to an ambulance whilst talking on the phone. It's possible that the transition happened in the second minute, but there's a limit on video length for imgur uploads. I guessed that it happened when the shot levels out, (at about the 40 second mark), because I imagine that there are restrictions on how close a drone can get to an actor.

i noticed this shot during this week's episode and thought to myself, "well that was tricky".

What an awesome shot. I've seen a couple of shots like that before where you just go "ain't no way that's not cg" but then you find out: they found a way.
