The Coast Guard medevaced a crewmember from the offshore support vessel Citation approximately seven miles offshore Corpus Christi, Texas, Thursday afternoon.
Coast Guard Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi watchstanders received a request for medevac for a 45-year-old male who was experiencing arm pain and shortness of breath. Watchstanders consulted with the duty flight surgeon who recommended the medevac.
“We are grateful we were able to get the mariner to the medical attention he needed,” said Lt. Jake Conrad, Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi MH-65 aircraft commander. “It was a team effort between both crews involved.”
