What a amazing story almost like something from a TV show.

Truly a 'Angel' Doctor

[God luvs America]

De Patricia Quinlan- medicine woman...wonder if she looks like Jane Seymour?

[native texan]

that’s amazing

[roadcat]

At first reading, I thought she used her own hair as a tourniquet. Now that’s resourceful! Reread it, oh, it was her hair tie! Still resourceful. Smart lady.

Phil- LY!

Improvise. Overcome. Adapt.

[CrazyIvan]

Some people are pretty resourceful. Several years ago there was a bad accident in front of me. A young boy in the car had a nasty impact wound on his head that was really gushing. I managed to stop the bleeding with pressure. Someone I never saw handed me a freshly opened bag of white cotton T shirts. Great improvised compresses. Someone was bring then home from shopping I suppose and repurposed them.

NOT GUILTY!

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.

[Bigg Red]

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.....

[CPT Clay]

Cool story
