I nearly sh*t my pants laughing at this

The flight crew never provided any mask or gloves during the rescue attempt.

He said the flight attendant also activated the defibrillator and nearly shocked him as he worked on the heart attack victim.

:}

Great job training XD
And seriously, hats off to cx pilots for organising and donating! :D

Well it finally exploded in Cathay's face today . A lengthy article about the event and Cathay's pathetic response featured in today's SCMP alongside the amazing generosity of the crew
Well done guys

In typical fashion did CX remove/not load South China's on the aircraft today? :=

Cathay pilots reward 'heroes' who saved heart attack passenger | South China Morning Post

Wow, I really thought CX wouldn't let us win the PR here, and would gift them a freebie ticket before it made the news, but there it is:

"But while their heroism was noted, the response by Cathay Pacific was apparently less than praiseworthy."

Well Done. Donated.

@Soul Planet

Dude... seriously.... what's your problem? You're rooting for people to fail?
SMFH.

As to the SCMP.... here are the facts. Straight from the good doctor's mouth:

Quote:

My name is David Monks and I was the doctor involved with the resuscitation and co-author of the British Medical Journal case report referenced in this article. I was extremely impressed with Cathay Pacific's handling of this situation. I gave Phila around 45 minutes of my time yesterday during which I explained, at length, how fortunate this patient was to have flown with CX on this occasion. I am disappointed to read that he only chose to include two brief and unrelated quotes.

The cabin staff are to be commended for recognising that the patient's worrying symptoms required urgent medical attention. Their excellent training and supply of emergency equipment is testament to how important they regard passenger safety. I was treated with the utmost respect and appreciation in the following days and weeks, receiving e-mails of gratitude from the pilot and other CX representatives. Their de-briefing procedures (in which I was involved), performed by an eminent professor in cardiology, were also exemplary.

Ramon and Ming, who were also involved with the resuscitation, were extremely frustrated with how they were misrepresented by the Toronto Star's articles. They also commended Cathay Pacific in the accounts that they provided. it is obvious that the reporter to whom they spoke had his own personal and sensationalist agenda.

Well done, Cathay Pacific. Keep up the good work!

Good job to all involved. This action has been the highlight of this mostly useless forum to-date. Good job gals and gents.

How about the Australian Doctor that helped out? Any word on whether he was looked after? If he received the same treatment from CX then he should be included in this..

The doctor was taken out to dinner by CX in Beijing and flown to HKG and on to SYD Business Class.

Having just read NH's link (3 posts ago) to a Toronto Police site about the incident, it appears an Aussie Dr David Monks, was also involved to quite some degree. As it appears said good Dr also accompanied the patient to a Beijing hospital. Do any of those in the know have any info on whether CX offered or gave any significant gesture of thanks to him, as I doubt a Beijing hospital was his ultimate destination. If there was a decent gesture of material thanks made by CX, I can see how disparate the company ticket offer was to Goomber & Li.

If CX did not, any idea if there's a plan to include him in in the "Thanks from the CX pilots(& contributing public) fund" once it's exceeded its target?

See previous reply

Well done chaps, again shooting from the hips without asking any questions.
The good DR has put it all into perspective.

Now we just look like a right bunch of desperate plonkers. :ugh::ugh:
