“Is there a doctor on board?” and your stomach drops. You’re derm. You’re ophtho. You’re path. Here’s your quick playbook.

FIRST: YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Identify yourself to the crew and ask for:
→ AED
→ Emergency medical kit
→ Ground-based medical support

You are their hands and eyes. They can help guide the medical decision-making.

A — AIRWAY
Talking? Airway is patent.
Choking? Back blows and abdominal thrusts.
Unresponsive with snoring/gurgling? Open the airway and position appropriately.

B — BREATHING
Check rate, effort, and color. Ask for onboard oxygen early.
Wheezing → bronchodilator.
Anaphylaxis → IM epinephrine. Don’t delay.
Not breathing → BVM, then move to circulation.

C — CIRCULATION
Pulseless → CPR + AED.
Weak, pale, diaphoretic → lay flat, legs up, consider IV saline.
Chest pain → aspirin; nitro if appropriate and not hypotensive.
Bleeding → direct pressure; use a tourniquet when indicated.

Also check glucose.
Altered patient, especially with diabetes? Think hypoglycemia. Give oral sugar if they can protect their airway; IV dextrose is in the kit if needed. A glucometer may not be available.

And remember: you are not deciding whether to divert the plane. That belongs to the pilot-in-command with input from ground medical support. Your job is assessment, stabilization, communication, and handoff.

Acute care colleagues — what would you add? 🙌🏾

I know ER visits can be stressful, scary, and downright overwhelming, and given how fast-paced the ER can be, it’s easy to be seen, treated, and discharged without fully understanding what happened during your visit.

Save this post to make sure you understand these five things before being discharged from the ER:

1️⃣ What tests were performed and what the results were
2️⃣ What treatments you received and what they were for
3️⃣ Whether any procedures were performed and what the outcome was
4️⃣ What your follow-up plan should be moving forward
5️⃣ What signs and symptoms should prompt you to return to the ER

Here are a few more questions worth asking before discharge so you stay fully informed about your care:
🚑 Was I evaluated by any consultants or specialists?
🚑 Am I being started on any new medications, and what should I know about them?
🚑 How long should I expect this issue to resolve?

What else do you always ask before leaving the ER? Drop it in the comments and remember ! Sarah G. Jamison, MD | Medical Media Personality
