Tim Gola, a 58-year-old Newark man, was an hour a way from a potentially fatal heart attack June 19 when he was rescued off the Ocean City coast and medevaced to a Salisbury hospital where he underwent emergency heart surgery, his best friend says.
“We have to credit the fast thinking of the crew and Coast Guard for saving him,” said Bill Baker of Bill's Sports Shop in Lewes.
Baker said his best friend Tim Gola is recovering at home after doctors at Peninsula Regional Medical Center cleared a blocked artery and inserted a stent.
“He was within an hour of death, doctors told him,” Baker said.

ReplyDeleteGreat job Coast Guard.
ReplyDeleteNow wonder how much this cost and who reimburses the tax payers. Does the Coast Guard charge the patient?
