Time to medical help

My understanding is that the kit (the one with the restricted stuff in it) is for use only by medical professionals. At least that's what I've read in medical literature. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) It's been a long time since I was PIC in 121 (but nut as long as Manicax.) When they started putting that stuff in the kit we were told that the restricted part of the kit could only be opened by an MD or DO. So, if there wasn't one of those two on board, no use allowed. |

They say there is no MD on board so nobody can administer the Epi-pen. "I'll do it myself. Please pass the pen!" Sorry, you're not a doctor. We can't do that. But I'm dying! That is too bad, maybe we can give you a discount coupon for the inconvenience. We look forward to serving you in the future. |

Why would you travel without a medication for a known life-threatening condition? It isn't exactly an unexpected heart attack. |

It would be irresponsible not to if you know you are subject to this type of reaction. |

Mike writes: Several years back I was on a flight from Atlanta to Orlando on a B-757. About halfway there we were at 31000 ft. and I heard one flight attendant tell another "We're got to get this stuff (referring to service items)picked up NOW!" About that time the spoilers popped up, and we nosed down. There had been smoke in the passenger cabin, with somewhat of a electrical insulation odor and we were heading to Jacksonville as fas as we could get on the ground. As I recall, we were on the ground and at the gate in less than 15 minutes from the first indications of an 'event'. (The problem turned out to be a minor short in the crew computer.) An emergency affecting the entire flight is different from an emergency affecting a single passenger. Perhaps.. Perhaps not. The OP asked how quickly the aircraft could reach medical help on the ground. I believe my experience addressed that question. It is up to the PIC to determine the extent of the emergency. I suspect that if the PIC of a commercial flight believed that the life of a single passenger was in danger unless medical help was obtained soon, the resulting "flight profile" would be very similar to what I experienced. All the PIC has to do is declare an emergency. Mike ( a "real pilot") -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Let's all remember that Anthony is not a physician, let alone a pilot, and he has no training in either area. Why engage him in these useless debates that he knows nothing about? I guess to feed this ****ing hopeless troll. |

All the PIC has to do is declare an emergency. Declaring an emergency won't get you down much faster, and things like anaphylactic shock or cardiac arrest require immediate treatment, not treatment after a half-hour ride to the airport and taxi to the gate. Additionally, endangering other passengers for the sake of a single passenger is a bit Hollywood as well. |

I travel all the time with one of thos "granny" seven day pill dispensers and another large container of non-prescription and prescription drugs in my brief case. Nothing is ever saidl I think labeled precriptions become important only when travelling internationally. |
