Flying doctors from the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance have been scrambled to a medical emergency on the beach near Seaview this afternoon (Monday).
The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service has been joined by the air ambulance medics at Seagrove Bay, between Seaview and St Helens.
The green and yellow helicopter has been able to land on the beach just metres from the patient.
Members of the public are assisting emergency services and it’s understood a defibrillator has been fetched from nearby Seaview.
UPDATE @ 17:10 – HM Coastguard has now joined the response, alongside an Operational Commander from the ambulance service.
The incident remains ongoing at this time.
UPDATE @ 17:20 – The air ambulance has taken off and is returning to the mainland.
The patient has not been conveyed.
What does ‘FETCHED’ mean?
If you do not understand what ‘Fetched’ means I would suggest that you look in a dictionary. It could mean ‘carried from’ ‘brought from’
Is English your first language??
Don’t be silly. He’s an islander. They don’t know English..
It is; is sarcasm yours ? I know exactly what fetched means, however, I do not expect to see fetched used in a supposedly serious article like this.
verb
past tense: fetched; past participle: fetched
go for and then bring back (someone or something) for someone.
English dictionary: Go for and then bring back (someone or something) for someone.
Quite plain really to somebody of intelligence ….. But then, your probably from the backwaters of West Wight..
Actually, I am from the backwaters of the little known sunny resort of Tippun .
Just to let you know, I had passed my O level in both English language and english literature many years before you were even thought of.
It’s usually a Northern term.
It means someone went and got the defibrillator for the person
Spect they fetched it somewhen .
Rather than asking stupid questions, why not ask about the condition of the patient??
People only care about themselves being right
verb
past tense: fetched; past participle: fetched
1.
go for and then bring back (someone or something) for someone
I was taught that the correct word was BROUGHT, but being an Islander, I would have said BRUNG, as in, bring me a defibrillator and the response on arriving with said object is……..I brung it. Mind you I would have had a backhander for saying it.
Will you ALL stop this stupidity! and shut up. The point is a LIFE was a risk. Grow up.
Wishing the patient all the very best for a quick recovery…
Thinking of all their family and friends …
