CAPE MAY – The Coast Guard rescued a fisherman reportedly suffering chest pains approximately 64-miles off Cape May Feb. 6.
According to a release, the Coast Guard was notified of the 61-year-old male’s condition by the crew of the Joyce D via marine band radio.
An aircrew was dispatched aboard an MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City.
Once on-scene, the aircrew hoisted the man aboard and brought him to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, where he was met by waiting emergency medical services personnel.
“Rescues in the maritime environment are inherently complex,” stated Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Osenbach, a search-and-rescue watchstander at Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay in Philadelphia.
“If you suspect there may be an urgent medical issue taking place, notify us when symptoms first start to get help to those who need it as quickly as possible,” he concluded.
