Callout 2021_041
Medical emergency
On Tuesday 17/03/21 at 1900hrs Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team had just finished a call out on Scandale pass and was returning to base when they were flagged down by a member of the public. A woman in a group of tourists was suffering from a suspected panic attack and was struggling to breath.
She was given initial first aid and the team doctor arrived on scene a short while later. The patient’s breathing was stabilised and there were no serious health issues identified. Once the patient was feeling a lot better she went on her way with her friend to try and find a camping spot for the night.
