God bless u sir for saving life,imagine no ambulance in Nigeria airport

DaddyNimo:
you're lucky he didn't finally die, na police for dey wait you outside the plane....id mind m business if I were you. you just denied the man's family some possible compensation from the airline.

U just made a valid point

ONCE UPON A COUNTRY

MrPRevailer:
May God bless you Doctor Sir for saving that life.

The God of Chosen saves lives and heals incurable sicknesses/diseases no matter how life threatening it is.

Can you please shut up!

He was in luck that a doctor who knows his onion was onboard.


A sizable number would have disowned their profession when "push came to shove".

Kudos brother!

In this case who is responsible for the bill payment?

Don't say that. Every life is important as yours.
Well-done Doctor.

DaddyNimo:

I can only say kudos boy. May the almighty reward you abundantly.

Like seriously.


The Man tried.
But he over did it ooo.

The Diazepam was unnecessary. Can even kill the dying heart faster.
The patient could have died had he given it
Intravenously or through the Anus..... IM diazepam is as good as not giving anything

What saved the Man's life was the CPR ( chest compression).
Am just surprised that the air hostess are not trained to give *BLS* (Basic Life support).
They don't even have AED on board

989900:
Only a f00l would do this on a thread like this.

That's to the guy advertising s*X vids above me.

That guy or guys, i don't know sef, is the worst thing on nairaland threads these days. Instead those puking and spitting squad should concentrate their spitting and puking attitude on that

Wonderful by the doctor. It is highly inspirational.
Things of the nature shows our heart, what we do without a payment. We remained humans.

Respect Man.

God will surely punish all devilish plans in our lives

And the convulsions could also have killed him!
If you want to intubate during CPR won't you sedate, if he is still conscious.
I think he had to abort the seizures sha.
But truth be told, it just wasn't the man's time to die...
No AED, no assistance-- the guy was doing the CPR alone, meaning it was not efficient.
Na God go save us for Naija sha

@POLITICS NIGERIA

A Nigerian Doctor by the name of James King is being praised by Several people online for saving the life of a dying passenger onboard an Azman airlines flight.

Politics Nigeria learned that Dr. King bravely saved the life of the yet-to-be-identified passenger who collapsed on the flight from Kano to Lagos on Saturday, May 25th. Narrating the incident, Dr. King stated;




“Its getting clearer now, …why I was born.

I just saved a life who would have possibly died midair in the aircraft I was a passenger in.

I was on seat 14F of BOEING 737-300 of AZMAN AIR from Kano to Lagos.

Suddenly, his head dropped.

A passenger on seat to my far left on the other side of the aisle.

The Indian man sitting besides him screamed and called the attention of the air officials.

The Indian said it seems the man passed out.

We were still several miles above sea level.

Far from Lagos our destination.

As it is with my nature, I was listening to some music with my earpiece on board this flight. I was rocking myself head forward and backward, my hands slightly moving up to the powerful music of SHOW US MERCY by Will Adiks.

The movements to the unconscious passenger got my attention.

I removed my earpiece.

In 5 powerful long strides I got to the dying patient.

To the Air Hostesses, “I am Dr James King. I want to take over. He is deteriorating fast.”

The Air Hostess said, “Ok sir. Go ahead.”

And she gave me way.

I quickly checked his pulse around his radial artery. It was small volume, irregularly irregular rhythm.

I shouted, “Any doctor, nurse or paramedic here?”

No response.

All the other passengers on board were staring at me with a forlorn look.

As if there was an impending danger to all of them.

I turned to the immaculately dressed 3 Air Hostess around me. “We can save this life together. His life depends on us now.”

I turned to one of the hostesses, “Can you please get us all the medical boxes and kits in this aircraft”

She responded, “Ok sir” and walked fast away.

I asked two other male passengers to help me lift the dying man from his seat to the aisle between the airfraft seats, …so I can have more space to start my intervention on him.

We placed him on the ground.

I immediate positioned him supine and also freed his respiratory airways by tilting his head backwards a bit.

I again asked, “please can I have any cloth or anything to support his neck.”

The air hostesses removed their top suits and handed them to me.

I was encouraged.

I folded two of them and placed them under the neck the of dying man.

At this point the dying man was already having rolling up eyes, …all white.

I listened to his apex heart beat.

It was very weak and faint.

I knew in seconds, he would be dead if I don’t do something fast.

I commenced CPR (Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) on him.

He responded.

Then he began to convulse uncontrollably.

At the top of my voice, I shouted “Can someone get me Diazepam please?”

An air hostess ran somewhere to get it.

It was 30 minutes before landing.

If nothing was done fast he will die in less than 10mimutes.

I repeated CPR again.

And again. And again….

I listened to the heart using my stethoscope.

Some mild activity commenced.

I turned to the chief air Hostess, please call Murtala Mohammed Airport and tell then to arrange an Ambulance before our landing.”

She said, “Right away” and began to rush toward the cockpit to inform the Pilot to do so.

When I was sure the patient’s ventilation improved a bit, I quickly withdraw 5mg of Diazepam and gave him straight intramuscular on his buttocks.

Returned to the supine position again.

Commenced CPR.

Checked his radial pulse.

I then announced to everyone that… “I AM buying time. He will survive.”

I was on the floor of the aircraft kneeling around him.

Monitoring every single thing I can pick from his reflexes.

The chief air hostess came back.

I asked her, “How many minutes do we have more to land?”

She said, “in 5 minutes.”

I again announced to everyone on board, “HE will survive.”

Then there was a loud sudden noise in the aircraft.

Then we landed on the runway.

Three men/passengers carried him.

We evacuated him very fast out of the plane.

At the foot of the plane there was no ambulance waiting.

I was visibly angry and now shouting at the top of my voice to all the airport officials.

That the ambulance is at the other side.

In a rage I said to them, “This is wickedness. We did all our best with God’s help to keep this man alive for 30 minutes and you people could not even get an Ambulance to wait here?”

Someone suggested that he should be taken in one of the Toyota Hilux van.

I said “No, it will kill him before we get anywhere”.

I screamed, “Any clinic in the airport?”

That was when their brains came back to default reset and they chorused, “Yes.”

I said to the good men still carrying him let go.

That was when we rushed him to the clinic you are seeing in the photo of this post.

Its the airport clinic that is close to the Arrivals of the Murtala Mohammmed airport, Lagos.

I explained everything I did and the medications given to the doctor on call.

She took over.

Then I walked out and looked up to heaven and said, “I know You are involved in this. Thank you Lord.”

Addendum:
I actually came to Lagos for a humanitarian programme, an absolutely FREE Medical outreach that is poorly funded meant for the sick and abandoned Prison inmates at Kirikiri Prison.

We are all born to save lives.”

I concur,

The intramuscular injection of diazepam was a no no.

Those air hostessess should have basic knowledge of resuscitation especially in the use of automated electric. Defibrillator.

"Our patients survive INSPITE of our treatment sometimes"

Let him bask in this limelight atleast.

Airport worth billions of naira cant make ambulance available. Emergency response in this country is very discouraging. In other climes, whoever is responsible for making that ambulance unavailable would have been fired by now.

Of course, this is Nigeria, where everything is left for god to do.

Job weldone my brother! God continue to increase you in knowledge.

Weldone doc...God bless you

In a state of shock there is less tissue perfusion as blood is pooled to more vital organs like the kidneys, brain and heart.

That intramuscular diazepam was useless in that situation.

All in all, he tried

Thanks God bless you.Doctor

Intramuscular and at that dose wouldn't do much...
True, let him bask in the euphoria.
The way it was dramatised showed he enjoyed or wants to enjoy the attention
Almost doubted it till I saw pictures.
But thank God there was someone who could at least help

U Sound like a medic but from the history he gave, I don't see that as convulsion, it could just be jerking.... People confuse some involuntary movt with convulsion


Atropine or Epinephrine should could have been better

jaxxy:
We don’t value life in this country hence no ambulance was waiting bt that was an experienced doctor.

You will hear that miney is given for servicing a non existent ambulance

Maybe... If he had bradycardia, Maybe...
Irregularly irregular pulse, sounds like 'fibrillation' of some sorts.
He needed an AED like Bobrisky needs sense!

May the good lord reward your good deed ABUNDANTLY!!

Likita',you are a hero and we celebrate you.

Wow lovely....I knew CPR is the the next step..I joined the nation of lifesavers as I was awarded my CPR certificate by British Hearts Foundation on Friday after the successful completion of my hostile environment close protection operations management training few days ago.

I agree with you.

Adrenaline if available, would have been a better option likewise Hydrocortisone.

Diazepam is known to depress the respiratory centers despite being an anticonvulsant. Moreover, considering the patient's homeostasis, intramuscular Valium 5 wouldn't be as dangerous as intravenous.

Even raising patients legs while lying supine would have encouraged blood flow to the heart.

But overall, the doctor did a good job.

Kudos to you for your submission. You are a doc that knows her onions. You must be an internist or Anaesthesiologist. All doctors need to take BLS and ALS regularly
