Woman critically ill after near drowning at Los Cristianos’ Playa del Camisón

[Janet]

Only a week ago I posted about a 65-year-old man who was critically ill after nearly drowning in Las Galletas, one of a series of such accidents recently, and now the same thing has happened to a 55-year-old woman who had been swimming at Playa del Camisón in Los Cristianos. Again, emergency services were called out with reports that she had been pulled unconscious from the water, and she too was resuscitated, stabilized, and transferred to hospital where she remains in critical condition, but alive. It seems to me that people get too hot while sunbathing, and some add alcohol into the equation, and the coolness of the water is too much of a shock to the system. Take care on the beaches here, beause this happens far too often. JA
