>> No, we have not taken that yet, but uh we can do that for you.
>> Okay, sounds good.
>> You going to come down?
>> Yeah.
>> Hey, Sig. I’m going to take your blood pressure real quick.
>> Need your arm.
>> My shoulder.
>> Shoulder >> when you fell.
>> I don’t know.
What is it?
86 over 57.
We’re going to get your BPM.
125 here. You want to you squeeze my hand?
Both hands. Let me see that one, too.
Squeeze.
Okay. All right. Well, hang tight. We’ll check on you in a second.
Okay. You there?
>> Uh blood pressure was 86 over 57.
Uh his BPM was 125 and both right and left hand he can squeeze but it’s it’s pretty weak.
No, it was about the same.
>> How fast you get medical attention.
>> We’re 8 hours out of Dutch Harbor, but there’s there’s no hospital here, but there is a medical clinic.
>> Got it. Should we serve in the meeting with them?
>> Uh, we were going to contact Coast Guard earlier and upon captain’s orders that was denied.
>> Well, we’ll tell you that’s a good sign that he’s arguing.
>> Okay.
>> In that case, I would highly elevate his legs so we can improve blood flow to his heart.
Then I want your to be averages. Okay.
call me.
>> All right. Thank you very much. We’ll be we’ll be in touch.
>> So, what is that?
>> He’s not exactly sure. We’re on our way back into town now.
We’ll get some rest.
And as soon as we get tied up, Carl, you can uh we’re going to get Sig off.
>> Roger.
>> Finally made it back. Sig’s still laying down. Uh, we’ve been monitoring him, checking him.
You know, he’s had two heart attacks. We got a truck waiting. We’re going to see how he is here.
>> Hey, Sig. We’re all tied up. We’re going to get to the clinic. Okay.
>> I’ll go on the dog for you.
Are you good?
>> Watch this one.
Freddy. Whoa.
>> The truck’s over here.
>> Over here.
>> Not too bad.
>> We’re all worried about Ziggy’s had issues with the tarp before.
We’re hoping it’s nothing too serious, but just need to get checked out.
>> You don’t mess around with the hard.
>> No, >> that’s very serious. We’re here to crab, you know. We got to keep doing what we got to do.
But we all hope he’s good. If anything, hopefully they find out what the problem is and they get him the treatment he needs.
>> We just have to wait here.
Hopefully they it’s not something serious.
>> Hey, Sig.
Well, they hooked up the machines, EKG, and all this stuff.
They don’t think it was a heart attack, but they want me to see a cardiologist as soon as possible.
>> What’s the next step now?
I want you to do the cleanup trip, wrap it up, and put the boat away.
>> So, you’re going to be flying?
>> I don’t need a medevac, so I’m stable enough to travel.
>> Don’t Don’t worry at all. Uh, I’ll take care of it.
>> I appreciate you being there, Clark.
>> All right, guys.
>> Good news that I just talked to S that he’s okay. He’s going to get down south and uh and see a specialist.
>> Let’s get ready to throw him. Roger.
>> I don’t really like the that we’re going out without sack, but Clark knows what’s up.
>> We’re going to have to get 60,000 lbs of beer dye and wrap up the season. I mean, we don’t really have a choice at this point without Sig on board, you know. I mean, to be honest, feeling a little nervous. This will be, you know, my first time doing this all by myself.
Really hoping that we have the numbers we need in the gear to get the quota and get this done.
>> 140 mi north of Dutch Harbor.
>> Yeah. You want to get everybody up?
All right. Thanks.
It’s definitely weird being out here without sick.
He’s like your safety net.
And him being gone, everybody has to step up. You know, as long as I’m up here, I want to put crab in the tank.
I’m here to make sure that that happens.
