Mark Dickey is suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding. Rescuers have located him, but now have to bring him up.
Mark Dickey, 40, is an experience caver, but after getting sick he is trapped inside a cave in the southern part of the country. Rescuers from across Europe have reached him, but now comes the tough job.But he is still deep inside the earth, 3,000 below, while suffering from life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. He had been mapping out a cave system.
With Dickey unable to climb out, more than 150 rescuers rushed in, bringing blood and medical supplies. "They're gonna have tight spots there, gonna have restrictions. They are gonna have belly crawls. It's cold. The water is 40 degrees Fahrenheit and are gonna get wet."So, Mark is having some very bad stomach issues, which means that he can't put any pressure on his stomach. So, in any of the tight spots, his stomach has to be protected," said Gretchen Baker, of the National Cave Rescue Commission.
