Medevac off Galveston

The US Coast Guard medevaced a man from the 'Thot' 80 miles south of Galveston, Texas, on Aug 19, 2022. Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders received a medevac request at 2:25 p.m. from the captain of the vessel, stating a 71-year-old crew member was experiencing tingling in the face, light-headedness and a loss of motor skills. Watchstanders consulted with the duty flight surgeon, who recommended a medevac. A Coast Guard Air Station Houston MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew launched to conduct the medevac while a Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane crew launched to assist with communications and oversight. The helicopter crew arrived on scene, brought the ailing man aboard and transferred him to awaiting emergency service personnel at Ellington Field in Houston. The man was reportedly in stable condition. Report with photo: https://coastguardnews.com/coast-guard-medevacs-man-from-vessel-80-miles-offshore-galveston/
