I took a 15-hour flight from Madrid to Chicago yesterday. A passenger had a pulmonary embolism two hours into the flight. Thankfully, there were two doctors on board and they seem to have told the pilot he wasn’t going to make it until the end of the flight. We got diverted to Ireland, and the ailing passenger was taken away to get help. I don’t know what happened then but we saw one of the doctors crying. It’s a male doctor, Spanish, and not young. This is why I’m worried about the passenger. I’ve been trying to find out what happened but there are no updates. The airline representative at the airport was asking passengers for updates, so she’s clueless.
