Two Indian doctors on an Etihad Airways flight played a crucial role in saving the life of a crew member who suffered a severe allergic reaction shortly after the plane took off from Ethiopia.
Faced with a critical situation at 30,000 feet and no option to make an emergency landing, the doctors acted quickly using only the basic medical supplies available on board. They administered steroids, antihistamines, bronchodilators, and provided continuous oxygen support to help stabilize the crew member.
The doctors worked tirelessly for almost an hour to ensure his breathing returned to normal. They continued to monitor his condition carefully throughout the entire four-hour flight, ensuring he remained stable until the plane safely landed.
Thanks to their swift and professional response, a potentially life-threatening situation was averted. Airline officials and passengers praised the doctors for their courage, expertise, and quick thinking, which made a significant difference in a critical moment.
This incident highlights the importance of having trained medical professionals on flights and the role they can play in saving lives during emergencies at high altitudes.
