Callout 2024_085
Medical emergency
A male who had been walking with his wife had rested during a steep decent and found he could not get back up. The couple rang the police for assistance. Given their location, and the limited numbers of rescuers available, the support of PMRT was requested.
A Team Doctor examined the casualty before he was placed on stretcher and lowered off the fell. The couple were driven to the Team’s Base in a Team Land Rover for a further check before making their own way home.
