What happens when a medical emergency strikes at cruising altitude—and there’s no doctor on board? Flight attendant Erica from America reacts to a popular video from Dr. Mike, a practicing physician and YouTuber, who recounts three life‑or‑death situations he faced on a transatlantic flight. This reaction covers both the doctor’s perspective and what flight attendants are trained to do when the stakes are high and landing isn’t an option.
👩⚕️ Inside this episode:
* Three emergencies at 30,000 feet: A kidney stone attack with no translator, a nauseous passenger who might or might not have food poisoning, and a diabetic passenger with dangerously high blood sugar.
* Medical kits & protocols: Dr. Mike explains how he navigated French drug names and radio consultations with ground physicians, while Erica breaks down what’s actually in those emergency kits—and why flight attendants don’t open them.
* Why EpiPens are on planes now: A throwback to Dr. Mike’s viral story that led to legislative changes.
* On-board vs. ground medicine: Why an oxygen bottle is sometimes better than Dramamine, and why flight attendants might respond differently than EMTs.
* Erica’s own experiences: From a paramedic captain second‑guessing her oxygen call to dealing with passengers passing out on the way to the lavatory, Erica reveals how flight attendants are trained to handle medical issues and why you should always pack your own diabetic snacks.
* What you should do: Tips for passengers with chronic conditions, how to thank flight crews after a scare, and why early flights might be your safest bet.
