Newlywed doctor has medical Emergency mid-flight

About an hour into a flight from Hawaii to Baltimore, with a layover in Los Angeles, an announcement came over the speaker: “Are there any physicians on board?” No one answered. Then came a more panicked call for help: “Is there any medical professional?” Emily Haley, a physician assistant at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, stood up. A flight attendant rushed over and escorted Haley to another passenger on board. “She had been vomiting, diaphoretic, covered in sweat,” said Haley. Haley requested an EKG from the crew, but they didn’t have one. She tried using a pulse oximeter, but the device didn’t work. “We got her Apple Watch, attached it to her wrist. It just said her heart rate was over 160. That made my heart rate drop a little bit,” said Haley. A normal heart rate would have been around 100 beats per minute. But they still had another 3.5 hours before landing. “We were over the Pacific. It was the worst-case scenario,” said Haley. “I was coming back from my honeymoon in Hawaii and here’s my brand-new husband possibly watching me die in front of him,” said Dr. Jacquelyn Lacera from Riverside, California. The two medical professionals worked together to get through the crisis. “Emily took total control of the situation; she knew exactly what to do,” said Lacera. “It was so wonderful to have a physician there to brainstorm with,” said Haley. https://www.wmar2news.com/homepage-sh...
