Medical emergency
Green politician criticizes equipment on ÖBB trains
After being stung by a wasp while boarding an ÖBB train, a daughter of Green Party Member of Parliament Lukas Hammer suffered an allergic shock. However, it was not possible to treat the girl immediately.
Hammer was on his way home with his wife and two daughters after a Holocaust memorial event in the Czech Republic when the serious incident occurred. While boarding an ÖBB Railjet in Brno, the girl was stung by a wasp and suffered an allergic shock, as Hammer reported on the short message platform X on Sunday.
"Apart from a defibrillator, there was no equipment or medication on board for medical emergencies (...) In our case, it ended well because we were just able to get off in Breclav and reach the hospital," the mandatary described the dramatic situation, pointing out the "essential factor" of time in such emergencies.
For this reason, Hammer appealed to ÖBB: "In my opinion, there should be an emergency medical kit for first aid on every train."
The Austrian Federal Railways responded to the incident and pointed out the emergency call button on its trains, which should also be pressed in the event of a medical emergency. The company also wished its subsidiary "all the best".
