Paramedic escort on a flight
Paramedic to accompany you on a flight
"Is there a doctor on the plane??"
On a plane, we spend long hours in the sky, far from hospitals and advanced treatment capabilities. Sometimes the flight lasts 14 hours or more.
Medical response on a plane is limited. Flight attendants and flight attendants undergo a basic first aid course, a course that definitely does not have enough content and knowledge to provide the best response when a medical problem occurs. Although, there is a suitcase with emergency medication on the plane itself, but it can only be used if one of the passengers on the plane is a doctor.
When a sick or elderly person is flying, many of them would prefer to have a medical professional with them on the flight who can provide them with treatment if necessary. The need is especially strong when it comes to chronic and recurrent diseases such as seizure disorders, respiratory diseases, various chronic diseases, and more.
