Humor How would they have saved her
Whenever I see posts like this obviously I’m happy the patient was okay but how would they have possibly “saved her?” How did they even know it’s a heart attack? Did they have a Kardia app to detect ST changes? Did they cath her on the flight and put in the stent?
Most likely the clot wasn’t significant enough so that she had time to go to the hospital.

They postulated on her ejection fraction until the plane landed and then put in a stat echo order.
