Hucks: Is There A Doc On The Plane?

There wasn’t a doctor in the house, but there were two freshly minted ones on that flight from Seattle to New York when a female passenger passed out and quit breathing. Earlier this sum, Drs. Kyle and Lili Chambers were en route to the World Cup in South Africa when they heard the SOS from a flight attendant. Less than 24 hours before, the Doctors Chambers had graduated from UWashington medical school – Kyle as an ear, nose, & throat doc; Lili as a pediatrician. (Kyle, a 1999 Coeur d’Alene High grad, is the son of Dr. Dave and Bev Chambers of Nettleton Gulch.) So Kyle & Lili rang their buttons and were escorted to the patient who was turning blue. Complicating matters, the family of the stricken passenger couldn’t speak English. Which made it impossible to figure out if she had been ill, eaten anything, allergies, or heart problems/ DFO , Huckleberries Online, SR. More here .
