A Heart-Stopping Moment
The journey back from training took an unexpected turn when a fellow passenger suddenly lost consciousness. The flight attendant reported that the passenger stated she felt very hot and lightheaded before fainting. Demonstrating quick thinking and decisiveness, Bobby and Gabby sprang into action. They utilized an on hand overnight oximeter and blood pressure cuff to assess the passenger's vitals. With their advanced training and medical expertise, oxygen was administered, and an IV was initiated.
Meanwhile, a second passenger was also taken to the back after feeling dizzy and nauseous. While Gabby attended to the first passenger, Bobby was strategically positioned between the two and quickly sprang into action, effectively supporting both individuals. Upon landing, both passengers were stable and were seamlessly transferred to emergency medical services (EMS) waiting on the ground.
Gratitude and Reflection
Bobby, a BSN RN specializing in Critical Care, and Gabby, a BSRT RRT also specializing in Critical Care expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to make a difference. "Thank you, GOD, for putting us on this path," Bobby shared. They also extended their appreciation to Lincare and American HomePatient for equipping them with the skills needed to handle such critical situations.
Inspiring the Lincare Family
This incredible story is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the Lincare team. It serves as an inspiration for all of us to continue striving to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
