Hat's off to the great lady for saving the precious life in mid air.
Great. Job. Good to see people do care. Thank you
I experienced a similar incident on one of my flights, I'm a former flight attendant. No one volunteered to help out so having a medical education helped (RT, x-ray technology)I administered 02 and kept her as calm as possible. I asked the Captain to have a physician meet the plane. One of the other f/a's helped out as the passenger was Spanish speaking and she was fluent. People don't realize that the job is more complex than passing out peanuts and drinks. My admiration for a selfless nurse that came forward on the Jet Blue flight.
As a former ER doc and USAF/ ANG flight surgeon, she couldn't have been appropriate in her response.
corr.: she couldn't have been MORE appropriate in her response
Great job by the nurse, first for stepping up, next for keeping the situation calm. Not too sure about the Pilot's response - asking what he should do instead of immediately seeking clearance for an emergency landing.
