Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT, NWAS

On the descent from Dock Tarn a woman slipped on a rough section of path alarmingly close to a large drop into a steep sided gill. The fall resulted in a painful ankle injury. Keswick team provided various analgesia and splinted the ankle. During the stretcher carry to an ambulance she requested more analgesia, and perhaps under its influence, she asked “where’s the nice doctor, not you, the other one”.  No doubt a quote the team will remember for some time.
