Medical Call in Sugar Hill Ends with Patient Refusal

This is a follow-up to NEK's earlier report (Live Music at Cabot Village Common, June 12). New details below.

This is a developing story. Details are preliminary and subject to change as more information becomes available.

NEK previously reported that emergency responders were dispatched to 1448 Route 117 in Sugar Hill for a 79-year-old woman with possible heat stroke. New details have since emerged: At approximately 1:37 PM, Sugar Hill emergency units responded to a medical call in town. According to first responders, the patient was evaluated and signed an informed refusal, declining further treatment or transport. All Sugar Hill units cleared the scene and reported the patient was being brought home by 1:38 PM.
