Ambulance shows up 30 minutes late following graphic scene in Finnish hockey game
Hockey player Juuso Vainio had to wait nearly 30 minutes for an ambulance after taking a hard hit during a game in Finland.
Vainio's team hasn't explained why there wasn't an ambulance at the game from the start. Thankfully, Vainio didn't suffer any serious injuries, though he spent the night in the hospital for observation.
In professional hockey, players usually receive immediate medical attention, but despite a doctor staying with Vainio the entire time, he remained on the ice until the ambulance arrived.
JYP released a statement saying Vainio was conscious and able to move while waiting for help.
"The player was conscious the entire time and all of the player's limbs were moving. Vainio was taken by ambulance to Central Finland Hospital for further examinations.
After the situation, the ice was repaired with an ice machine and the game continued as normal.
JYP will inform more about the situation when additional information about further investigations is received."
