Callout Allergic Reaction

The BayTrust Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to Galatea at 11am on the 20/2 where a 53 year old male was stung by a wasp and had an allergic reaction. He had self medication which helped and after been stabilised by a St John paramedic, was flown to Rotorua hospital for further treatment. The helicopter was called due to the remote location.
