This morning I was taking a friend of mine flying, a recently retired interventional radiologist. We met at the airport and I had already done the preflight. As he was climbing through the windshield to get in the Lake he collapsed into the seat and suffered a seizure. Pulse was not present, he was grey, delivered a precordial thump and started CPR standing outside the airplane with him in the seat. He CAME BACK! EMS, heart rate in the 20s with complete heart block. Temporary pacer placed and he is doing fine. 10 minutes earlier he would have run off the road and may have died. 10 minutes later wonder how I would have done CPR and flown the plane, much less managed his feet jerking on the rudder pedals as he seized. Good day for both of us to be alive. Just think going for an airplane ride probably saved this guy's life. Aviation has more to offer than we think.
