　　On the evening of the 13th, the Shidao Border Inspection Station received a request for help from a ship agent: while a Panamanian-flagged vessel was sailing from Tianjin, China, to Japan, a Chinese crew member accidentally missed a step on the stairs during work and injured his lower back. The situation was serious, and the vessel requested entry for medical treatment.

　　After receiving the report, the station immediately activated its emergency rescue plan. Duty police officers quickly arrived at the scene, handled entry procedures for the injured crew member with ** speed, and assisted in completing the transfer of the crew member, buying valuable time for his treatment.

　　After more than half an hour of effort, the injured person was successfully sent to the hospital for treatment. The crew member is currently in stable condition.

　　It is reported that in recent years, the Shidao Border Inspection Station has opened the "emergency channel" many times to provide convenience for the rescue of injured and sick crew members.
