Proud husband narrates the tale of his doctor wife responding to mid-air medical crisis

An Indian husband narrates in detail how his wife--a doctor--attended to a mid-air medical emergency case.

New Delhi, March 7: Saurabh Kumar, who works in the ministry of finance, Delhi, is a proud husband. His wife, Anchita Pandoh, a physician by profession, recently helped a patient to revive consciousness mid-air, as the couple and other co-passengers were flying in the Malaysia Airlines flight MH 130 from Auckland, New Zealand to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A medical emergency was declared during the journey. When the captain of the flight queried about the presence of a doctor inside the aircraft to attend to an air hostess, who had suddenly fallen unconscious, it was Anchita, who promptly responded to the 'call of duty'.

Narrating the entire episode on Facebook, Saurabh wrote, " #MedicalEmergencyInAir! On board #MalaysiaAirlines flight #MH130 from Auckland to Kuala Lumpur, barely one hour after take off from Auckland, we were having our lunch. Suddenly I saw an air hostess rushing to the front compartment of flight with an oxygen cylinder. It was surely a case of medical emergency. Soon we heard the captain asking for any Doctors in the flight. The only person in the flight who promptly responded to this call was my wife Dr Anchita."

"We rushed to the front compartment and found that an air hostess had fallen unconscious and other flight attendants were trying to help her. Anchita took charge of the situation. Flight crew provided her medical equipments available in the flight. I was worried if the patient didn't recover then flight would be forced into an emergency landing. Going by the location of flight, touching Australia would have taken two hours and returning Auckland would have taken one hour. However, with Anchita's efforts the patient started responding and she opened her eyes. Seeing this all passengers started clapping and cheering. Later the captain came to our seat and thanked her profusely. I felt so proud of my wife."

His Facebook post has gone viral and since then the couple has been receiving 'congratulatory' notes from all.
