I was flying from Dallas to London. A passenger had a heart attack. We diverted to Boston. Docs on board treated and asked passengers for nitroglycerin tablets if any had some. They did. When we landed in Boston a ambulance was waiting. The patient was off the aircraft in minutes. I hope he lived, I do not know.
Hope so. Saw medflight and first responders lose one yesterday. Heli turned off the blades. Ambulance turned back on the hiway back to the hospital morgue. Sad.
“Docs on board treated and asked passengers for nitroglycerin tablets if any had some.”
Was at a wedding in CT back circa 2000. Grandpa had a situation where he needed nitro, elderly wife forgot to have them that day. Ambulance EMTs wouldn’t give him any, for legal reasons. Took him to ER, he died a day or two later.
Good ole govt regulation killed him.
