CG medevacs vessel crewman

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard medically evacuated a crewmember from the fishing vessel Sea Charger on July 12 near Venice, La. 

The Coast Guard received a call at 5:13 p.m. from the fishing vessel requesting a medevac for a crewmember aboard who was experiencing stroke-like symptoms. 

The CG launched a Venice-base Response Boat and crew to respond. Coast Guard Cutter Tigershark boat/crew also was diverted to assist.

The Venice boat crew embarked the man and transferred him to awaiting emergency medical services personnel at Coast Guard Station Venice. 

The man was taken to Ochsner Medical Center West Bank where he was last reported to be in stable condition. (Coast Guard 07/13/23) DVIDS - Images - Coast Guard medevacs crewmember near Venice, La. (dvidshub.net)
