Dr Rashid Gariba who is a trained Neurologist, MyNewsGh.com has confirmed, saved the life of a 68-year-old patient who was heading to Ghana.
According to the Medical Doctor who confirmed the incident to MyNewsGh.com, an hour after take-off, the patient who is also a Ghanaian based in Berlin suffered some respiratory insufficiency and was being treated with an asthma spray as part of his medication but did not know how to apply it well.
He disclosed that the patient who appeared helpless as a result of the fact that he could not breathe and was on the floor drew panic from both the crew members and other passengers on board the flight. The crew then announced if there was a doctor on board, and he showed up to respond to the emergency.
“I was able to identify the problem and it was solved. I was rewarded with a First Class seat for my life-saving services. I was bringing some medical equipment to donate and luckily they came in handy. I had a nebuliser in my hand luggage as though it was planned. I am glad we were able to take care of it and everybody was happy, he disclosed. Â
