To a many Doctors they are in a 'war' against death and the very best ones just have no quit in them and refuse to let the BAST--d win.

Praise God for a doctor on the flight who is creative and skillful. May she reap nothing but blessings from her good deed.

With the help of a pediatric intensive care unit nurse and an emergency medical technician who also happened to be on the flight, Quinlan began administering intravenous fluid.How did they give her an IV? Is it standard for commercial planes to carry IV equipment and fluid on their flights?
I like the part where they used whiskey to disinfect the needle used to insert the IV.

That’s fine the pilot carried her bags but United should give her a free lifetime pass since she saved them millions from a potential lawsuit from the guy’s family.

If he didn't come around and needed more intensive care both she and the airline would have been responsible. Still, she had her skills and those of the other two (a pediatric intensive care unit nurse and an emergency medical technician) to assist in evaluation and emergency treatment. The man is very lucky to have such skills immediately available.

God bless her.
But I am not impressed with the way the story was written; it really does not describe clearly what she did. Tourniquet for what? Where did the IV bag come from? Etc.....

I was on a jobsite a few months ago and some guy got his hand caught in a claw bucket of a bobcat. Probably broken. After treating for shock, I used 3-4 trash bags to pressure wrap it and splint it tight to his body so his crew could take him to the ER.
The crew had no real first aid kit. A box of bandaids and an ice pack. Now, they just have bandaids.

Sounds like a good idea. I remember being told to do the same with newspapers in a first aid course.
