Army Officer Saves Passenger During Mid-Air Medical Crisis
An IndiGo flight traveling from Chennai to Guwahati narrowly avoided a medical crisis, thanks to the prompt intervention of an Indian Army doctor on board.
During the flight, a 75-year-old passenger lost consciousness, displaying symptoms of hypoglycaemia, a condition characterized by dangerously low blood sugar levels. The sudden onset of these symptoms created a sense of urgency among the flight crew and passengers.
Among those on board was Major Mukundan of the Indian Army, who quickly assessed the situation. With his medical training and composure, he provided immediate care to the elderly passenger, effectively stabilizing their condition.
Major Mukundan's swift actions not only prevented a potentially critical situation but also ensured the passenger's stability until the flight landed safely in Guwahati.
This incident underscores the invaluable service of armed forces personnel beyond their conventional roles and highlights the critical role that trained medical professionals play in handling emergencies, regardless of the setting.
