Is there a doctor or nurse on board?
Flew yesterday on DL 186 from DTW to BOS. 1/2 hour or so in, flight attendant asks, somewhat urgently, for a nurse or doctor. My travel partner is a nurse practitioner and raised her hand to help.
The ill passenger has passed out and required assistance. In the end, the passenger was able to walk off the plane, though she was met by EMTs. She was, by the way, very grateful and we were glad that she felt better.
Now this is the second time I've flown with my friend where her services as a nurse have been needed.
The first time, she got a verbal "thank you". And the person who needed assistance that time around was a flight attendant who was having a cardiac event. We actually had to retrain to Detroit, where we were met by emergency personnel.
Now my friend has NEVER asked or expected anything from Delta but this last trip made me wonder....would be nice if DL sent some sort of thank you letter. They know who she is....they took her info for their incident report.
Thoughts?
