Callout 2024_092
Medical emergency
NWAS had received a call from a couple walking the Ullswater shore path with a report that an 18 year old walker was suffering chest pain. The casualty’s concerned partner carried her 500 metres to the nearest house to await the Team’s arrival.
A Team Doctor was happy that the casualty was stable enough to be transported to the local minor injuries unit for further assessment. There was a long wait for an ambulance so the casualty and her partner were taken to the hospital in a Team vehicle.
