The diabetic hiker was transported by ambulance from Whitney Portal to Southern Inyo Hospital in Lone Pine. Then from there he was flown out to a larger facility.
The hiker made it out between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. I was on my way out the door for work at 7:45 when I heard on the radio that the ambulance was needed at the airport to pick up the flight crew.
