@steven: He had five minutes to live at 35,000 feet Dr Mike describes responding to a medical emergency on a flight when a passenger went into anaphylactic shock and his throat began to close. There was no EpiPen on board and the nearest landing was over an hour away. With only minutes to act, he calculated a dose using epinephrine meant for cardiac arrest and administered it. The passenger survived. What would you do in that situation? #podcast #doctor #health

Wait a minute. Did he just say that he had to think about volunteering to assist this passenger?

Ask the other passengers? I carry one for my allergies. I’d give mine up for someone in distress.

Anyone asking why he was thinking “do I volunteer “.. medical professionals hesitate because people sue.. sad but true..

An hour and a half to Canada and an hour to Portugal? 😭 That doesn’t make sense

I’m a Paramedic and have answered the call 3 times on planes as I was the only medic on the flight. The first aid kits on planes are no where near good enough for major emergencies.

As someone who has a medical background, and a life threatening allergy, this is an amazing story. I would hope that a planes medical kit, especially on a long haul flight would have an epi-pen (both adult and peds) 👏👏👏

As a mother of a chile with severe peanut and tree nut allergies, I appreciate this initiative. We always travel with epipens, but it’s nice to know it’s available for anyone in case of emergency.

Can I ask ? Why do only about 70% of planes have EpiPens on board why not 100%

I honestly thought all planes carried EpiPens.

Advice to fellow hunter/ fishermen : We have one at the hunting cabin. No one is known to have allergies, but we have one just in case. Also, an expired epipen is better than no epipen.

My dad who is a cardiologist saved a man’s life on an airplane years ago. The man sent my family a Christmas gift every year after that. ❤️

As a paramedic, welcome to emergency medicine. I would’ve fixed him and went and had beers with him 30 minutes later rather than make it dramatic. Every ER nurse could’ve done this as well, as could a really competent EMT. I would take most competent people in emergency medicine over a DR in this situation.
