Medical equipment on board planes.
Discussion
Prompted by a conservation with a friend, whose wife is a Senior Sister in an Accident & Emergency department...
On a flight earlier this year she helped out a patient who had fallen into a diabetic coma. The budget carrier were able to provide medical equipment in the form of one glove. Not very impressive. They diverted to get assistance, where she was brought round. The passenger recovered with treatment, but the airline abandoned her on a remote island rather than take her back on board.
Please tell me that other airlines try harder to keep passengers whom fall ill on a flight alive?
PS
She did not volunteer to receive a 'reward'. Which was just as well - as they only wanted her details for their insurance....
