Moultonboro island first responder
An interesting night on an island in Moultonboro last night. A woman falls, breaks her leg. 911 is called to assist in getting her off the island. She is in excruciating pain. Requests transport to Huggins but is told she will be taken to LRGH...even though it is the other side of the lake from her location.
It takes over an hour for first responders to arrive, in a JON boat, no stretcher. They each grab the woman's arms and help her "hop" down the stairs. They then drop her into a plastic lawn chair to finish carrying her to the boat. The whole time this poor woman is sobbing with pain.
Then the real fun begins. The responders start the boat, it stall, again and again when they put it in gear. Everyone watching from shore knows they must have something wrapped around the prop. 13 tries later, they decide to look at the prop...sure enough.
I'm so glad our island is in Tuftonboro.
