Assisted with an in-flight medical incident
While flying back to MIA from Bermuda the other day the flight crew asked for assistance from a physician for a medical incident. No one was available. I raised my hand as I have some experience with trauma/EMS (EMT-P/US Army 18D) - I checked on the passenger. No serious issue. He was slightly dizzy and disoriented. Pulse/resp were good. Was taking an unknown medication. He had recently lost a family member and had no eaten or had anything to drink. I advised OJ and something to eat - and to monitor his condition. No big deal.
Out of curiosity to anyone in the industry - why did AA request all of my contact information? (with ticketing they had it anyway) Would it be for possible litigation? I know that I am protected under the good Samaritan act.
Cheers
