Oh my god it happened there was a medical emergency on my flight I've had my MD for 4 days Thank god half the passengers from Israel to New York are also doctors and another more seasoned one stood up because when I tell you my life flashed before my eyes

And since people are asking, the guy was okay! I don't know what the problem was bc I didn't get up but those who went to help were with him a few minutes and then went back to their seats and there were no issues the rest of the flight 😅

@RachelAlter007 😂😂😂😂

@trappist_e Unfortunately nothing to do except supportive care 😂

@RachelAlter007 Had a patient with hemorrhagic dengue. Bled out. There was blood everywhere. We were wrist deep in it. Never googled something so quick in my life.

@RachelAlter007 Dengue fever! Pls tell me your in ED

@RachelAlter007 I hope everyone was ok tho

@RachelAlter007 That's waaay better than my skillset!: a pimple emergency or red rash! 🤣

@RachelAlter007 Any way you can get them infected with either of those, preferably both, and them ride to the rescue?

@RachelAlter007 its a lot of pressure to put on someone on a 10 hour flight to only get pneumonia or dengue while they're in the middle of another medical episode

@RachelAlter007 This comment wins Medical Twitter!!!

@RachelAlter007 If you're an MD I'd personally prefer if you treated me than some random person who isn't. I mean, you went to medical school right?

@RachelAlter007 I admire your honesty 🤣

@RachelAlter007

@RachelAlter007 The good news is it's not dengue fever. The bad news... is... well 👀

@RachelAlter007 How about a sharp intermittent pain right here (points to left temple)?

@RachelAlter007 I’m one of the only people to have contracted dengue from a blood splash.

@RachelAlter007 1) congrats on the MD! 2) I was on a flight awhile ago and the person next to me turned to me at takeoff and said, “I’m a doctor but I don’t do medical emergencies on flights.” Me: um…is that a threat? Him: “I’m a plastic surgeon.”

@RachelAlter007 Good to know American doctors also care about dengue.
