An account of a serious medical emergency on a transoceanic flight
In contrast to this story, my wife (a doctor) did attend to an ailing passenger on a transoceanic flight.  The attendants were more than helpful, and my wife expressed surprise at how well stocked their medical kit was (drugs etc).<p>After the flight, the airline gave her some duty free goodies on the spot, and a few days later, a one-way business class ticket (I guess to make up for the fact that she sat with this ailing passenger for most of that transoceanic flight).<p>The article didn't mention what airline.  We were flying Singapore Airlines.  Service does make a difference.
