A U.S. member paragliding in Colombia contacted Global Rescue following an accident injured his arm. After landing, a broken branch fell on his left wrist quickly causing his fingers to swell and become discolored with an on-and-off tingling sensation. He applied a bandage and ice compress overnight in his hotel with no relief. The next day he went to the hospital for imaging. A Global Rescue medical team reviewed the case and determined a surgical intervention could be necessary and recommended that the member have an in-person evaluation with an orthopedic doctor. Global Rescue helped the member secure a flight to his Washington state home of record where he proceeded to the hospital for further evaluation.
