Attempted suicide

Dispatcher Files

Last month we received a call from one of our trauma councillors requesting ambulance assistance for an attempted suicide patient in the Upper Highway area. She provided us with the contact number for the member on the scene who was the patient’s neighbour.

We made contact with the person on scene for further details in order to hand over as much accurate information as possible to the Netcare Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics en route, so that they would be prepared when they arrived on scene to handle the situation as swiftly as possible. Within 10 minutes, ALS advised us that they were on scene.

Fortunately, the patient was able to be stabilised by the Netcare team who then transported the patient to a nearby hospital for further medical attention.
