RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS:
  On 25 June I was dispatched to a finger injury at the main dock.  A 68 year old female was transported by ambulance.
  NARRATIVE:
  On 25 June 2021 at approximately 15:45 I was dispatched to finger injury at the main dock.  Dispatch informed me that the person was loosing a lot of blood.  I arrived at the dock and was flagged down by a young lady who directed me to a vessel which was attempting to load onto a trailer.  She informed that her grandma's hand had been slammed between the boat and the dock.
  I retrieved two rolls of gauze from my medical bag and walked down to where the boat was being loaded.  
  CONTACT:
  I observed some blood on the side of the vessel and a female holding a towel.  I boarded the vessel and observed that a section of skin approximately three inches by two inches had been de-gloved from the female's right hand near the thumb joint.  I observed white tendons, bone and muscle.  I wrapped the wound with gauze.  I then used the towel to create a sling for supporting the arm.
  When Rangers arrived I requested his pulse oximeter as the female, identified as VICTIM, appeared to be going into shock.  VICTIM was pale and her skin was cool to the touch. I confirmed 92 percent oxygen saturation and a pulse which varied from 75-85.
  At approximately 16:10 medical personal arrived.  We were able to assist VICTIM off of the vessel and onto the stretcher.  VICTIM was placed in the ambulance and was transported to Utah Valley Hospital.
  While obtaining information I observed another female who had ice wrapped around her right hand.  She also had injury to her right hand.  I observed bruising and swelling on her right thumb and index finger. This victim chose to self transport to urgent care.
  INVESTIGATION:
  Based upon statements of patients and passengers, the winds were very strong, waves were heavy when they were trying to get onto the dock so VICTIM 2 could retrieve the truck and trailer.  Victim 2 placed her right hand out to catch the vessel, a wave came causing the vessel to drop as it hit the dock and her hand was between the vessel and dock.  The stern of the vessel then started to move toward the dock.  VICTIM who was at the stern of the vessel reached out to catch the boat as well. The vessel and dock again moved pinching VICTIM's right hand between the dock and vessel causing extensive damage to her hand.
  This appears to be an unfortunate accident. Based upon investigation no citation will be issued.
