Medical Emergency w/Flyout

October 13, 2022

At approximately 10:49am on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, the Ocean Pines Vol. Fire Department was alerted for a medical emergency; Worcester Central advised that a Medical Alert subscription service reported a patient in need of assistance. Upon arrival, Paramedics determined (after a duel consultation) the patient needed to be airlifted. With assistance from Trooper 4, the patient was successfully transported to Shock Trauma.

The helipad at the south station was utilized.
 
REMINDER: Medical Alert subscription services can save lives. In the above emergency, care for the patient could have been delayed w/out the automatic fall detection and alerting provided by the subscription service.  We encourage anyone with loved ones who have stability issues or other chronic medical needs to look into options
