AS FAR as medical emergencies go, this
must have made the Captain a little angry.
The Thomson Spirit required the assistance
of the Coast Guard while in Strangford
Lough, off the coast of Northern Ireland,
after a female passenger suffered a
nosebleed.
Despite routine medical assistance from
the onboard doctor, the passenger insisted
the problem was sufficient enough to have
ruined her cruise and she wanted to get
off…now.
After the matter continued to escalate,
the doctor reluctantly agreed and called
for the Coast Guard, who met the vessel,
transporting the woman to Dublin Airport.
The woman was then moved on to
Dublin Hospital by ambulance, where the
nosebleed was quickly treated and stopped.
