First Response: In-Flight Medical Emergencies
Episode 9
Thursday, 30 September, 2021

In a moment where the adrenaline is pumping, how do you act, especially when your skills and your knowledge are needed? In this episode, Dr. Laurie Garabedian shares a story about an ill passenger she encountered... on an airplane. When a flight attendant asked if there was a doctor onboard, she volunteered. Going up against a challenging presentation, and armed with few resources, Dr. Garabedian shares what happened next. Guests: Dr. Paulo Alves, the global medical director of MedAire, and Joyce Labitan, a retired flight attendant, join to share their experiences and lessons learned. Credits: Music is from Blue Dot Sessions. Cover artwork by Jose Perez. For a full list of credits, see firsts.site. Follow us on Instagram @FirstsPod.
