The Mountain Rescue service was known as out to rescue a French lady within the Sierra Nevada space after she was stung by a wasp.
The 77-year-old lady, who’s allergic to wasp stings, had gone into anaphylactic shock while out strolling within the Alto del Chorrillo space inside the municipality of Capileira.
When the rescuers, who had arrived in helicopter after selecting up a physician on the heliport in Pitres, discovered the sufferer, her tongue and lips had already swollen up and she or he was having respiration difficulties, making it not possible for her to proceed underneath her personal steam.
The physician managed to stabilise her situation earlier than they loaded her into the the helicopter for a return flight to the Pitres heliport, the place an ambulance awaited to take her to the primary hospital in Granada.
Editorial remark: it will take no less than an hour by street from Pitres to town of Granada and because the helicopter needed to return to its base in Armilla, a minute or two flying time from the PTS hospital, which can also be in Armilla, why didn’t they simply fly her there?
