Three emergency patients from Wichabai to Ogle on Saturday.

Responding to a Rupununi emergency from Georgetown does happen from time to time as we are occasionally in the city for meetings or maintenance on the aircraft. On saturday nurse Fiona Johnny (originally of Karasabai) served as the flight nurse when we picked up an appendicitis case, a snake bite (labaria), and an young man with a painful abdominal mass all from the South Central airstrip. With the current level of high water, vehicle transportation is all but impossible in many parts of the region.
