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).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).The article didn't mention what airline.  We were flying Singapore Airlines.  Service does make a difference.
