KRUI
(Lampost): Due to lack of medical equipments at Krui hospitals, Mc Leon Done
Gordon (25) an Australian surfer, was flown
abroad for a better medical care from Krui airport, on Friday, June 22,
2012. Mc Leon hit the reef and broke his thigh bone while he was surfing Way
Jambu, the next surf after Karang Nyimbur, the other day.
According
Ani (37) the manager of Ombak Indah, the camp where Mc Leon was staying, Mc
Leon was flown to Singapore for a better treatment.
“This
is the second time a surfer flown abroad from Krui airport after having a fatal
accident,” said Ani to Lampung Post
at the airport, when the flight was about to take off.
She said
that the airplane is chartered by the insurance company that covers Mc Leon’s
travel in Indonesia.
Amir,
a medical officer at the Health Center (Puskesmas) in Pesisir Selatan, who was also
coming to the airport, said that they had given Mc Leon a treatment prior to
the flight. However, due to the lack of medical equipments, and the serious injury,
they couldn’t do much to help him.
“He
broke his left thigh bone. He needs an advance medical treatment like an X-ray,
which we don’t have,” he said.
