We start with a gripping story of seizures and use it as a jumping-off point to unpack practical pearls for in-flight emergencies. Along the way: what’s actually in the emergency medical kit, when planes divert, how ground medical support works, altitude physiology, legal protections, and how to stay calm when medicine suddenly happens at 35,000 feet. By the end, you may still sweat a little…but hopefully less than before.
