[통영=뉴시스] Reporter Shin Jeong-cheol = At 3:16 am on the 19th, Mr. A (38, male), who was fishing in the sea 14 nautical miles south of Yokji-do, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, got his left eyelid tangled in a fishing hook while untying the fishing line with the person next to him.
The Tongyeong Maritime Police Station (Chief Joo Yong-hyeon) dispatched a trap and a coastal rescue boat after receiving a report that a patient had his left eyelid pierced by a fishing hook on a fishing boat that day.
The Coast Guard ship that arrived at the scene connected the Pusan National University Hospital and the remote emergency medical system to share the health condition of Mr. A while protecting his eyes after treatment.
Then, Mr. A was put on a coastal rescue boat and transferred to Dalhang Port, Sanyang-eup, Tongyeong-si at 4:52 am on the same day, and handed over to the waiting 119 ambulance.
While fishing on a boat, Mr. A’s eyelids were sewn up when the hook caught in the fish came loose while untangling the fishing line with the person next to him, and the captain of the fishing boat reported it.
Fortunately, it was confirmed that there were no eye injuries.
An official from the Tongyeong Coast Guard said, “If an emergency patient occurs at sea, please immediately report it to the Coast Guard as it is important to take action and speedy transfer.”
