“While Ms. Richardson seemed fine, the ski patrol wanted to take a closer look so she was taken down the hill by sled, said Mont Tremblant spokeswoman Lyne Lortie.
“She showed really no visible sign of injury and she was talking and showed absolutely no sign of confusion,” Ms. Lortie said. “It was right in the middle of the slope so she didn't hit anyone or a tree. It was a fall as anyone can do. It wasn't a violent fall at all.”
Ms. Lortie said the ski patrol wanted Ms. Richardson to see a doctor, but she insisted on returning to her hotel room. The ski patrol and instructor stayed with her for about an hour, after which she began complaining of a headache and not feeling well.
You stated in your reply to me that the medics from Tremblant were with her ALL of the time and she was fine.
The point is...wherever you got that information seems to be wrong...the medics never even saw her.
The lesson I learned was go to the doctor even if it seems okay.
Best wishes!
LOL - It probably did knock some sense into me! :)
I agree - better safe than sorry when it comes to head injuries...
Best wishes to you, too!
The people staffing the first ambulance didn't see her.
you are wrong...geesh...
Yves Coderre, director of operations at the emergency services company that sent the medics to the Mont Tremblant resort in Quebec, told The Globe and Mail newspaper Wednesday that ski patrollers requested an ambulance for Richardson.
The paramedics who responded were told they were not needed, said Coderre, whose company, Ambulances Radisson, serves Mont Tremblant, about 80 miles northwest of Montreal.
“They never saw the patient,” Coderre told the Globe and Mail. “So they turned around.”
“She did not show any visible sign of injury but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor,” the resort said in its statement.
The ski patrol are not the Tremblant medics...the medics that responded WERE NEVER WITH HER.
I'm not for coddling people in prison and giving them yoga facilities, but that's terrible what happened to the guy. Did anything happen to the nurse that saw to him? What happened to the guy that punched him?
I'll send you an FR mail about my little bro.
Yeah, I’d read that.
This was in the 70s, we didn't fire many staff. Nothing was doen to the nurse.
‘Liked her in “The Parent Trap” remake.
RIP
