Ruiz, an emergency room physician, jumped to action 30 minutes into the flight when the passenger lost consciousness. The 60 year old passenger was provided oxygen and hooked up to defibrillator to track his vitals. The flight made an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airports before continuing onto Dallas.
Worse is that this isn't the first time Ruiz has step-up to help on his flight home:
"Ruiz told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that this was not the first such incident. He said he's been able to help a handful of other passengers who've passed out on flights home from D.C."Having a medical professional on an airplane is a blessing. Their ability to jump to action can help stabilize a sick passenger. One a flight to Denver, a little girl had a seizure and a nurse 3 seats back jumped to action within a minute of the seizure occurring. Her quick action probably help the little girl.
I take my hat off to you Congressmen Ruiz and all those who jump to action to help a person in need!
