A U.S. member surfing in Mentawai, Indonesia, was struck in the head by his board causing a severe injury to his eye. A friend of the member contacted Global Rescue and reported his friend’s right eye was lacerated with an embedded foreign object. The member received initial treatment and surgery at a local medical clinic. Following the surgery, the treating physician recommended the member be transferred to a hospital capable of a higher level of care in Padang for further management of his injuries. Global Rescue medical operations personnel evaluated the medical recommendation and coordinated a private speedboat to transport the member from Mentawai Island to Padang in mainland Indonesia. Following the successful transport, the member received further successful surgery for his damaged eye. The member reported feeling better and was discharged at the end of the day with pain medications before booking his return flight to his home in Maine, U.S.
