[quote=Anonymous]After Thanksgiving with out of state family, my little family and I flew home. We were walking up the jetway, and two people in front of us was a tall old man. He started leaning back (you know how the jetways slant uphill). He caught himself, and someone asked if he was OK. We backed up a bit, and sure enough another 30 seconds and he fell back flat. Conscious for a minute. The person just in front of us who asked if he was OK was ... a doctor! The person in front of him was in the army and had saved lives before. My dh was a med student. So he was surrounded by help. They got a quick medical history before he went unconscious. He vomited up (on my dh, who was actually not helping much and went to clean himself). A few of us in the front pushed forward and went out to get help. Strangely, no one was there to help at the gate, anywhere around. We actually started yelling "help! help!" and no one came. I kept thinking if there was a terrorist or crime or something, the security would be terrible!! It was a late incoming flight at the end of the holiday weekend, so maybe security was getting a needed break?? Calling 911 from cellphones went to the airport authority, and they said to call someone else!! My DH (before cleaning himself) actually found a payphone and called someone who would help. Instead of coming through the airport, they were out on the tarmac. It was a huge mess. Took forever to get proper help.

From what it looked like, the man died. We had no reason to stay, and left. So we don't know. Not looking good as they had to intubate. Wish we could have seen him get better.... Kept thinking about him, and if he had just visited family. And to think they were finishing out their thanksgiving weekend and didn't know yet that their father/husband/brother died on his way home. It was a sobering drive home from the airport, one hour away.[/quote]
