Wow - that's really scarey! I really have a lot of respect for the flight attendants - they keep their cool in stressful situations. I'd be screaming and panicing!Wow!
This guy was a well-dressed businessman, the same age as me. He was sitting there going over some paper work while we were still at the jetway. As we started to taxi to the runway he picked up the air sickness bag. By the time we reached the runway he was out cold. George switched seats with me and the flight attendant found both a doctor and nurse on board. They finally brought him around but he was incoherent for some time. Then he started to sweat like I've never seen before. George was mopping the sweat off this head. He said that he had no pre-existing medical conditions and didn't know what happened, but after a few minutes, he felt like he could continue on the flight. The doctor checked him out again and okayed it. About midway through the flight he started to get sick again. . .shaking, nausea and profound sweating. We called the doctor back over and he told him that he didn't think it was his heart and he just tried to make him comfortable for the rest of the flight. Poor guy. What a miserable 2 hours for him. Was kinda freaky for George and I too. But the flight attendants were great! And the doctor looked and acted like George O'Malley so that was kinda neat. What an experience!
