Airplane Medical Emergency | WE COULDN'T LAND! | Wednesday Checkup

"You've become allergic to red meat due to a tick bite." Me on the plane: Is this a House reboot?

Flight Attendant: is there a doctor on board? Sleepy barefoot man: I gotchu

I love that the flight attendants just left it up to him to decide where and when to land the plane. The flex power….

It's honestly crazy to me that people thanked you for not diverting the plane. I was on a plane one time where a guy had a stroke and the plane had to make an emergency landing and I was just glad that the guy was okay. Sure, it took longer for us to get to our destination, but that doesn't matter. When the guy walked off of the plane himself, everyone on the plane cheered for him.

Flight Attendant: Is there a doctor on board? Dr Mike: CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS

Flight Attendant: is there a doctor on board?!? Sleepy Homeless Man: Say no more

Doctor Mike about med dramas : "That would never happen!" Also Doctor Mike: Is saving a passanger's life in the most med drama way

Dr. Mike: *realizes that his rescue made it to multiple new outlets* Also Dr. Mike: "I think it's story time."

Passenger/Patient : I wonder what is he thinking Dr. Mike : So how can I open his throat

He protec He attac But most importantly He keep that plane on trac

This is a story of a dude who became a doctor for all the right reasons. Thank you for being a good doctor, sir.

I've had multiple anaphylactic reactions in my lifetime (tree nut allergy) and my worst fear is having it happen on a plane, so far from help. This guy was so lucky to have a doctor on board. I wish them both the best.

I'm surprised they don't have an EpiPen. I mean they serve peanuts on the plane

Flight attendant: "Is there a doctor on board?" while looking directly at Dr. Mike

One of my brother's best friends had a medical emergency on a flight after "cold symptoms" suddenly turned much worse. Unfortunately, there was no one like Dr. Mike on board to help him and the pilots decided an emergency landing was not needed because he seemed stable enough to them. He wound up going into sepsis which could not be reversed in the hospital they finally sent him to upon finishing the flight. He lived long enough for his parents to see him, though he was not conscious, and then he died. He was in his early thirties, a beloved mathematics professor, his disabled brother's only friend, a gifted athlete, a wonderful friend, and the only one who could have given his parents grandchildren. He was one of the kindest and most brilliant people I have ever known. Friends, students and colleagues from around the world sent letters upon his death, which were compiled into a big binder and given to his parents at his funeral. He had such an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Along with him, the future he intended to give his parents of grandkids and a daughter-in-law to comfort and assist them in old age, of nephews and nieces to lift his brother's isolation, was also lost. His parents live in my neighborhood and all the places where their kids and my brother used to play, in the tree fort and basketball court they built, the sandpit with child-sized construction equipment, the garden, and so on, are all empty. The whimsical math toys he made for fun are unused. His brother doesn't come to visit anymore and his parents rarely go on the walks they used to take together every evening. The airline never gave them so much as an apology.

As someone that suffers from shellfish allergies and carries an epi pen, I salute you Dr. Mike🫡. Anaphylaxis is the scariest feeling on earth. Bless you. 🙌🏾 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

Flight Attendant: Is there a doctor on board? Dr Mike: Beeeeee Whoooop

Delta Airlines: Doesnt have an epipen onboard Dr Mike: I'm about to destroy this whole company

I love how you're just so honest. The way you said you were panicking when other doctors just say 'stay calm' to themselves, the way you have no shame in telling us that you don't remember how to do a CRIC, the way you told us you didn't actually looked like a medical professional and just looked like a random person from Ohio XD.

You’re a savior Dr. Mike! As a pharmacist I’m shocked there are no EpiPens on board and hope your story creates changes. Add Narcan too for good measure. These should always be available. You’re living your purpose!
