A 56-year-old woman from Yokohama who was hiking in Gunma Prefecture dialed 119 to call an emergency medical helicopter for what could be the weakest reason ever—an ingrown toenail.
The woman’s husband called the emergency number at around 2:00 p.m. on July 25th, saying, “My wife injured her left foot and is having difficulty walking.” She was then transported to a hospital in Numata by Gunma Prefectural Police medical helicopter, used only for actual emergency situations and not something as minor as pain from ingrown toenails.
According to the Numata Police Station, the couple was located about 900 meters south of the summit of Mount Shibutsu. Three members of the Tanigawadake guard and five firefighters were dispatched after receiving the report.
The woman and her husband had been climbing the mountain earlier in the day, but after an investigation, the police believed that her injuries were minor.
Following the incident, the Gunma Prefectural Police issued a statement calling on hikers to choose mountains and make a reasonable plan according to their physical strength, physical condition, skills, and experience.
Where i live…. IF i call an ermergency service… I PAY THE COST. Calling an ambulance costs 200USD or so. A rescue helicopter? 10 times that
and this is why every last god damn person with a brain keeps insisting people in that contry are freaking stupid because if they did a revolotion and got rid of the corruption, thir healcare system would be free like in so many other places in the world.
But hey, covid (especially anti vax) have proven once and for all that stupid people will die before they even realise why other are “unhappy with thir princepels”
PS: look up real life stories of doctors, nurses and more. Who are mentally and more exasted as people keep dying one after another. Finally a vaccise is approved and released to be used. And you, a medical person, wake up that people refuse because they belive the vaccine will kill them or give them autism….
I hope you enjoy living in USA, while I live in western Europe where I can enjoy the same quality of medical services for a fraction of the cost. God bless ‘murica!
You must be young and healthy to be so smug. Go ask one of your elderly neighbors how great your health system is.
Where do you live at? That sounds cheap as hell compared to mine, my one trip which was no more than a 10-15 minutes drive cost me 500 bucks.
with how stupid things are now days im not even surprised………..
