The U.S. Coast Guard medically evacuated a sick 53-year-old woman from a cargo ship in northwestern Lake Huron Thursday night.

Health officials said the woman was suffering from a rare stomach problem and was loosing blood at a rapid rate. The woman was in need of immediate medical attention, but she was stuck on a cargo ship about 22 miles off Oscoda, Michigan, said health officials.

Around 9:15 p.m., a HH-65 Helicopter from the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Detroit picked up the woman from the ship and transported her to Alpena Hospital in Alpena Michigan.

The woman is listed in stable condition.
