| THE STRANDING | Observers on the Surf City pier
noticed this turtle floating on the water. Vacationers were
observers in the water helping to direct the rescue. Volunteer
Terry Meyer borrowed a boogie board from an innocent bystander and swam
out to the turtle. After some waiting and swimming and
diving, the turtle was turned toward land and pushed into shore.
Thanks to surfer girl Jordan, who paddled out to help with paddling
in. Interns from the hospital were waiting in the surf and gently
carried her on to shore, and into a waiting vehicle. |
| THE TREATMENT | Leeches. This girl was
full of leeches. Her nose and mouth full of leeches. After
administering fluids, hundreds of leeches were removed before placing
her in fresh water. Fresh water will kill the leeches and leech
eggs.
