A 58-year-old man was transferred to hospital
after enduring nine days at sea following a suspected heart attack.
The man was aboard a fishing vessel travelling from Tristan
Da Cunha, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, when he is believed to have
suffered the Acute Myocardial Infarction.
ER24 Spokesperson, Ross Campbell, said paramedics were
dispatched to the Cape Town Harbour following the request for a transfer from a
private hospital in the area.
''Arriving just before 9 pm, paramedics
reported that the patient was in a stable condition and lucky to have survived.''
He was transferred through to High Care for treatment.
