At approximately 09h00 on Wednesday, Emer-G-Med paramedics responded to a local supermarket for an industrial accident.
On arrival on scene a male aged in his thirties was found entrapped in a mincing machine in the supermarkets’ butchery.
Several advanced life support intervention methods were needed to stabilize him before he was carefully extricated by Gauteng EMS Rescue.
Once free, a decision was made to airlift him with the assistance of the Netcare911 aeromedical helicopter to a specialist facility for the definitive care that he required.
