Before I head down for pickup
I did want to talk to you guys a little bit about
Medical emergencies in flight and sort of what our protocol is as flight attendants
There are certain things that we can do and there are certain things that we cannot do
Game plan for today is three flights I go from Dallas to Nashville and the Nashville right back to Dallas and then on to
Washington DC I haven't had a long layover in Washington DC yet. So I am pretty excited
We don't get into DC until 12:24 a.m. Tonight though. So that is pretty late for me
I like to go to bed much earlier than that. I
Just boarded my plane here in Dallas our flying time to Nashville will be one hour and 26 minutes
So that is not too bad. Just doing my safe
And now we're just getting everything set up to get ready for the procedures
But I wanted to talk to you guys real quick about a new book that I started
it's the art of racing in the rain and
I love to read books that are turned into movies and the movie for this book is coming out
I think mid-august maybe early August and let me just tell you guys
Halfway through the book and yes, I use boring passes I and it is
I just love the way
I am quickly trying to eat my salad before we start boarding. It's funny. You can see lipstick on my fork
I'm just eating lunch on the plane while we're being catered and this is Mike remembered on IU to people
He's awesome
Made it to Washington DC it is
2:15 Am's and I am really really tired
The reason that we got here so late was because as we were taxiing out in Dallas, we had a medical emergency
So we had to go back to the gate and the passenger did end up getting off the flight. The passenger is ok
They just were not well enough to fly
I thought it would be interesting to talk to you guys in this video about as flight attendants like how we handle medical emergencies
What we can do what we can't do and stuff like that. It is really really late
So I will probably talk to you guys about that tomorrow morning because right now I really just want to get to bed I have
any of you guys ever experienced a medical emergency on your flight whether it happened to you or
You were on a flight whether as a medical emergency what have been some of your in-flight
Experiences like that. Let's check out this view
There is a really pretty Bridge right down there and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day out
It's about known now. I let myself sleep in quite a bit because we got in so late last night
I was exhausted and normally if I had already had a long layover here
I would probably just relax all day before my flight back
But I really want to get out and explore the weather looks like it's gonna be super nice out
so I'm just wearing this little white crop top and
This little skirt, and I'm pretty sure I got both of these from Target
So over here is the Lincoln Memorial and then
Right over there is the reflecting pool and behind it is the Washington Monument. So we'll check that out soon
Let's check out the Lincoln Memorial
I am NOT a huge history person, but I do still think this is really cool getting to see this and
Yeah, it's just a really unique experience
It is such a beautiful day out, which is awesome, but there are a lot of tourists here it is pretty busy
So now I think I'm going to go walk down by the reflecting pool
I'm just taking everything real quick to sit and walk. It is really hot out
I'm just drinking some water, but let me show you guys what I got from the gift shop
I bought this magnet to go on my fridge and then I also bought this Christmas ornament
I really like to collect Christmas ornaments and during the summer. It's not very often that you see them
So I figured I might as well get one while I'm here. I
Am heading off to see the Washington Monument and along the way I should also be able to see the World War Two memorial
And the White House is just a short walk past that so I'm excited to go see all that
I
Just got back to my hotel room
I have about an hour and a half before I need to be downstairs to head to the airport
So I'm just gonna relax before I have to get ready for work
But I had a really really really fun time getting to explore Washington DC next time. I'm here
I definitely want to check out all of the museums
But those are things that I really want to do when I have more time
I don't want to feel rushed when I'm doing that. I'm just now finished getting ready for work
But before I head down for a pickup
I did want to talk to you guys a little bit about
Medical emergencies in flight and sort of what our protocol is as flight attendants
There are certain things that we can do and there are certain things that we cannot do
For example, we cannot diagnose we are not doctors. We cannot diagnose what is wrong with you
all we can do is listen to your symptoms and then use our
Best judgment the resources and the equipment on the aircraft that we have to assist you in to help you to feel better
We are trained in CPR
We are trained how to use an AED
We know the Heimlich maneuver in case if someone is choking now if we are in flight and we are having a serious medical emergency
there is the possibility that the aircraft could divert and land in a different destination that typically only happens for like
really really big medical emergency
so think of someone like in life childbirth
That is something that you would have to divert the aircraft for if there is a medical emergency in flight
We will always always always page for a doctor or a nurse to come assist us
you know our goal as flight attendants and flight crew is just to get everyone from point A to point B as
Safely as possible and on time the in-flight medical emergencies do happen. But that is why as flight attendants
We are extensively trained on how to handle those situations
I've been flying a year in three months now and I've had about five or six and flight medical emergencies on my flights
But none of them have been large enough to need to divert an aircraft
So if you are feeling ill on a flight
make sure that you always let a flight attendant know so that we can do our best to
Assist you and help you so that we can get you feeling
the best that you possibly can during the flight with that said if you have any questions about
My job as a flight attendant and what we do during in-flight medical emergencies
Please put those in the comments below so I can do my to answer those for you
And if you have any stories about any medical emergencies that you've experienced or that you've seen while flying let me know also
