In an Oct 21 Xiaohongshu post, user Nicole K recounted how she helped a crew member in distress on her first SIA flight. ## Helps SIA steward with weak pulse, says she was ‘scared’ Nicole said that shortly after take-off on Oct 17, during a flight from Chengdu, China, to Singapore, the cabin crew made an announcement asking if there were any medical personnel on board. She initially hesitated, thinking there might be other doctors on board. Having been away from the emergency room (ER) for a long time, she was “genuinely scared”. However, when a second announcement was made, she decided to check on the situation and see if she could help. Nicole said a young crew member was lying on the floor, so she went over to check his pulse. His pulse was present and regular, but “very weak”, she noted in her post. His hands and feet were also cold. She described the steward as “groggy”. He could utter a few words but was unable to answer questions properly and kept saying he felt nauseous. Nicole then asked the crew members for a stethoscope and got them to check his blood pressure, oxygen levels and blood sugar before reassessing his condition. She next administered an IV drip, succeeding on her first attempt, she wrote. “Thank goodness all those years in the ER weren’t wasted,” she said. ![woman SIA steward flight](https://cassette.sphdigital.com.sg/image/stomp/ce7cb145fe03a124c525d8a99212be1bf70009a36e89721c020adaba8a085397) *“Thank goodness all those years in the ER weren’t wasted,” she said.* About 30 minutes after starting the drip, administering anti-nausea medication and monitoring the steward, Nicole noticed that his condition gradually improved. His heart rate dropped, his pulse grew stronger, and he became more alert. She said it was about 8.30pm, with about three hours remaining before the plane landed. “I still wasn’t at ease, so I stayed by his side observing (him) until we landed safely,” she said. “Only breathed a sigh of relief after handing him over to the medical team.” Nicole concluded her post by thanking the Singapore Airlines crew for their cooperation. Although there was no medical team on board, she said the crew worked closely with her to locate equipment and continued to care for and monitor the steward. “Finally, a pat on the back to myself. Even though I was nervous, I stood up when I heard that second call,” she wrote.
