The Rise of the Medical Emergency, Pt. 40
Watch out for that house! Confused cops, a delayed Queen Mary, a firefighter has a heart attack in an ER, more confused cops, an 8 year-old hero, a man, a woman, and a music festival. It's TROME.
JUN 30 REPORTS

3) Iconic Ocean Liner Delayed After Urgent Diversion
‘The Queen Mary 2, currently on a seven-night westbound transatlantic crossing, has experienced an unexpected delay in its arrival to New York City due to a medical emergency onboard. The ocean-liner diverted its course to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where it arrived on June 30.’
‘The Queen Mary 2 was initially scheduled to arrive at the New York City pilot station on the morning of June 30. However, a medical emergency involving a crew member necessitated a diversion to Halifax, Canada.’
4) Reedy Creek firefighter thanks medical staff that saved his life during heart attack
Sometimes things don’t happen at the worst time. Sometimes they happen at the best time.
‘A Reedy Creek firefighter is getting a second chance at life after his heart stopped while on the job.’
‘In mid-April, Hollingsworth and his partner dropped off a patient at the hospital when he started feeling pressure on his chest.
They didn’t think anything of it until he started feeling off.
After returning to the hospital his heart stopped as soon as he entered the emergency room.
“I remember I tried to grab the bed,” Hollingsworth said. “They told me I had a heart attack and my heart had stopped and they, you know, did CPR and shocked me back.”
The emergency room staff told us they were under pressure to save Hollingsworth because of friendship with him.
Some of the technicians compared it to operating on their family.’
Heartwarming.
5) CHP Officer To Return To Patrol After Suffering Medical Emergency
Heat stroke? A CHP officer? “CHP” stands for California Highway Patrol. You don’t patrol the California highway on foot. This one is sus.
‘On Wednesday around 3:40 p.m. a CHP Newhall Area Officer suffered from heat stroke, near Sand and Lost Canyon Roads, but at the time it was thought to have been a stroke, Officer Josh Greengard, spokesperson for the CHP Newhall Area Office said.
“He is at home now recovering,” Greengard told KHTS Friday.
The officer is expected to fully recover and return to patrol sometime next week.’
They thought he had an actual stroke, even though — I’m assuming — conditions of heat stroke were present? Give me a break. This is ABTV. You don’t get heat stroke driving around with AC all day.
6) Perth girl who helped sister during seizure emergency had only learnt first aid skills that day
‘A Perth girl has become an instant family hero after she used first aid skills, learnt just hours before, in a medical emergency involving her older sister.’
‘Remarkably, Tia had taken part in a one-hour first aid program at school that same day.
Tia kicked into action straight away and applied the skills she had learnt in the training.
She demonstrated to 7NEWS how she rolled her sister onto her side and checked her airways while her parents called triple-0.’
Heroic.
7) Man rushed to hospital in serious condition after incident in Coventry
‘A man was taken to hospital in a serious condition following a medical emergency in Coventry. It happened on Stoney Stanton Road on Thursday (June 29).
Paramedics were called to the scene shortly after midday. A man was found in a serious condition, confirmed West Midlands Ambulance Service.’
‘“Upon arrival, we found a man in a serious condition. He received treatment from ambulance staff at the scene and was conveyed to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further treatment.”’
8) 'She would light up a room when she walked in': Heartbreaking tributes to devoted mother-of-two who died at music festival
‘Heartbroken family members have shared their memories of a woman died after suddenly falling ill at a music festival.
Stephanie Thorpe, 32, was partying at Restricted Forest festival in Blackburn, Lancashire, last Saturday when she suffered a medical emergency.
The special educational needs teacher was taken to hospital where she died the following day, Lancashire Telegraph reports.’
‘'Her death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be passed to HM Coroner in due course.'‘
Adieu.
Fyi, CHP are frequently on motorbikes so heat stroke is possible.
A 32 year suddenly drops dead at a music festival, but her death is not being treated as suspicious. Well as long as they pass her file along????? to a coroner then I guess that is okay. No need for an autopsy. Nothing to see here. Just move along.
