When the flight attendants asked if there were any doctors on board during this flight, they got a two-for-one deal.
Wu Jinfeng and Chen Peijun (transliteration), a married couple who are both doctors, were on a Singapore Airlines flight from Christchurch, New Zealand, to Singapore on May 11 when a fellow passenger suffered anaphylactic shock.
The 34-year-old Malaysians stepped in to save the man, providing emergency treatment and preventing the flight from being diverted, they recounted to Lianhe Zaobao.
To the rescue
Wu and Chen heard a call for assistance from flight attendants after lunch at around 1.30pm New Zealand time (9.30am Singapore time) and immediately offered assistance.
The stricken man had been unconscious for about two minutes at this point and had just regained consciousness according to his wife, the doctors shared.
