Hi Guys
The cause of the 777 diversion was a female passenger, was thought to be going in a insulin coma, the flight was on its way to Adelaide. There was doctor on board but not trained for type of emergency, but did a great job of helping the woman, also a doctor there to meet them.
RFDS plane diverted with doctor on board from near YPBO.The crew of the RFDS were given very little info on the woman, when arrived the woman was lot better but still ill.
RFDS then transported her to perth, I hope she will be ok.
How do I know all this, I was the sitting at the pointy end, it was good outcome by all.
