RedactedNarrative: Operator1 advised Agent that he is a cancer patient and was cleaning a skin graft where he recently had a tumor removed when he broke the wound open. He began bleeding profusely and he could not get it stopped so he called a friend, who called 911 and advised them of the situation. 
  
  Friend further advised the 911 operator that Operator1 would be transporting himself from his camp on the Tangipahoa River to Traino Landing off of the Bedico Creek in Bedico, La. and requested medical assistance to meet him there. 
  
  Subject was staying with him at his camp and was riding with him (Note: Subject could not operate a vessel). Operator1 and Subject got in Operator1’s vessel and headed up current on Bedico Creek when Operator1 advised that he felt light headed and the next thing he remembered he was on the floor of the vessel in the bushes next to passenger, Subject. Subject was moaning in pain, bleeding from the ear and throwing up blood. 
  
  When Operator1 and Subject did not arrive at the landing friend was notified and began searching for them. Friend located them and transported both of them to awaiting E.M.T.’s at the Bedico Landing. Operator1 was transported to North Oaks Hospital in Hammond, La. where he was treated for internal and external injuries and was placed in ICU but non-critical. Subject was transported to Lake View Hospital where he was stabilized and then transported to University Hospital in New Orleans where he was treated for head trauma and underwent brain surgery. 
  
  He was also treated for multiple other internal and external injuries. Subject is in ICU in critical condition. This Agent, Sgt. completed the investigation and synopsis is as follows: Operator1 passed out due to blood loss and then lost control of the vessel and struck a submerged log/stump and then struck the bank on the south east side of the Bedico Creek approximately 2 miles from Traino Landing boat launch. Blood was voluntarily provided by Operator1 for a chemical analysis but at this time it appears no alcohol or drug use is involved. When Agent arrived at the scene Operator1 was conscious and there was no indication of impairment. For the agent’s conclusion of the accident investigation see complete narrative in the report.
