Captain, We Have a Problem! Medical Emergencies at 30,000 Feet

Imagine being woken up in the middle of a transatlantic flight by a flight attendant asking for your assistance in a medical emergency. That’s the situation today’s guest, Dr. Erin Foley, found herself in recently. Find out how she navigated the tense situation and what she learned about these types of incidents that happen far more often than we hear about.

 

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• The medical emergency that she responded to while flying to Europe for the IFNA Conference.
• The unexpected discovery she made in the stool sample cup.
• What she found researching these types of incidents and what she found about altitude sickness.
• What medical equipment do they keep on the plane?
• Why you might want to reconsider asking for reimbursement for helping on a flight.
