A potentially life-threatening medical emergency was averted aboard an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Guwahati, thanks to the swift and decisive action of an Indian Army doctor.
During the flight, a 75-year-old passenger suddenly lost consciousness and showed symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia, a condition caused by extremely low blood sugar levels. The situation quickly raised alarm among the crew and fellow passengers.
Fortunately, Major Mukundan of the Indian Army was present on the flight. Recognizing the severity of the situation, he immediately stepped in to assess and assist the patient. With calm professionalism and medical expertise, Major Mukundan provided urgent care that helped stabilize the elderly passenger.
His timely response not only averted a critical situation but also ensured the passenger remained stable until the flight safely reached Guwahati.
The incident is a strong reminder of the selfless service of the armed forces beyond the battlefield and highlights the importance of trained medical professionals in emergency situations, no matter where they occur.
