After a consultation with the Maritime Medical Consultation Center (CCMM) in Toulouse and the SAMU in Bayonne, it was decided to medevac the man with a Dauphin helicopter of the French Navy base in La Rochelle. The helicopter took off towards the fishing vessel with an SMUR team from La Rochelle on board. The victim was hoisted on board at 7:28 p.m. and delivered to an ambulance which took him to the Sables d'Olonne hospital at 8 p.m. French report with photo: https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/faits-divers-justice/un-marin-souffrant-evacue-d-un-chalutier-au-large-de-noirmoutier-1517348371
