Emergency responders at the Twin Cities airport on Monday removed an unresponsive, partly clothed woman from the back of a commercial airliner in an effort to render medical aid.

And? It was a code. Modesty aside, drag her off the place and work it in the jetway.

She was half naked because the flight attendants used an AED.
 
Pointless article. If the patient would have lived I doubt she would have cared.

what's the point of this article? people were traumatized that they had to witness EMS removing a person in cardiac arrest? What did the article writer want to have happen, for the EMS crew to work the lady while on the plane?

I bet the reason her pants were undone is because she was in the bathroom when they found her.

I don't care if she was stark naked with her titties flopping everywhere; get her off the plane quickly so you can start doing interventions that might actually save her life. I'm pretty sure she didn't care, as long as they did what was needed to save her life.
 
So they want us to spend extra time inside the bathroom dressing our cardiac arrest patient before we move them out to where we can actually do CPR?

I'm not really sorry that you feel traumatized because you watched a cardiac arrest patient being pulled out of the airplane on a megamover.

3 nurses and a doctor responded? That must've been a s..t show in the aisle. and it's why I usually pretend to be taking a nap when these sorts of things happen...

Can't render aid when I've been rendered into jello by prescribed pharmaceuticals.
 
I have a crazy idea...instead of gawking at the patient and then complaining about what you saw how about turning away or putting your head down out of respect and their privacy. I despise when people say they are "traumatized" by situations like this when they make the conscious decision to look or watch the situation.
 
I know my opinion in hasn't been the popular one among some I've talked to, but I don't give a damn if I have to do my job with people around. I have worked a code in the middle of a grocery store isle (keep in mind, no Lucas or auto pulse at the time) and when we got rosc he got rolled out igel, io, and all the works in front of everyone. Sorry bout ya. Don't like it, don't stare. Also find it annoying g how that guy makes it a woe is me situation, despite the fact a family lost a loved one. Somehow his problem seems bigger...
