Doctor Takes Prompt Action to Save Flyer’s Life on Board
An hour into Vistara’s Delhi-Doha flight on November 2, Dr Nadeem Jilani got alerted when an announcement was made to check if there was a doctor on board. A passenger had fallen unconscious in the lavatory and he lay on the floor near it frothing at the mouth, prompting the call from the crew. Dr Jilani, who was returning home in Qatar after attending his elder brother’s funeral in Aligarh, immediately identified himself and gave basic life support that saved the passenger, reports The Times of India on November 6.
