US Coast Guard crews medically evacuated a 32-year-old woman suffering from abdominal pains near Breezy Point, Queens, New York, from the 'Queen Mary 2' on July 6. Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector New York command center received notification at approximately 6:15 p.m., stating the crewmember needed medical attention aboard the cruise ship. A conference call between the Coast Guard flight surgeon and the ship’s doctor determined that a Station New York rescue crew was the best option for an evacuation. At approximately 6:30 p.m., the 45-foot Response Boat-Medium rescue crew and FDNY arrived on scene, transferred the woman, and transported her to awaiting EMS at Coast Guard Station New York for transfer to Staten Island University Hospital. The woman’s current medical condition was unknown.
