Medical emergency
LAMRT forwarded a report of a male with chest pains. The casualty had been camping with friends and fallen, hurting his knee, but was also experiencing pains in his chest. A SARLOC / PhoneFind located him on the path below Brock Crags. In recognition of the reported symptoms, a HM Coastguard Rescue Helicopter was requested.
Due to the low numbers responding, RAF Leeming MRT, who were in the Keswick area, were requested to assist. The casualty was assessed and found to be suffering mild hypothermia. He was warmed, placed in a cas bag, on a stretcher, and carried up the hill to the helicopter. The casualty was then flown to hospital for further treatment.
