CG medevacs crewman in La.

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard medevaced two boaters Aug. 10 from a construction vessel about 20 miles south of Atchafalaya Bay, La. The CG received a medevac request at 11 a.m. from the emergency medical technician aboard the vessel for a passenger experiencing heart related issues. The CG coordinated the launch of a New Orleans-based MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew, which hoisted the boaters aboard and transferred them to awaiting emergency medical services personnel at the University Medical Center in New Orleans. The man was last reported to be in stable condition.
