#GoodNews: Doctor Siphons Urine On Flight to Save Man

When a medical emergency happened during a flight from China to New York, a doctor on board jumped into action. There were 6 hours left in the flight and a passenger began sweating, had a swollen stomach and was going into shock.The man’s family said he had an enlarged prostate,so the doctor suspected it was blocking his bladder.

He made a makeshift catheter using plastic tubing from an oxygen mask and straws, and a syringe from the plane’s medical kit. The needle was too small to drain the urine, so he had to go to plan B – he siphoned the urine out himself for 37 minutes to save the man’s life.
