Dr Annuar deals with medical emergency as asthma patient suffers attack onboard flight


SIBU: Sarawak Deputy Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Datuk Dr Annuar Rapaee’s (pic) medical skills as a doctor were once again called upon when he attended to a medical emergency onboard a Malaysian Airlines flight on Wednesday (Sept 6).

As a passenger of MAS flight MH2521 from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, the Nangka state assemblyman and Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) vice president responded to a midflight announcement by a steward who had asked for a doctor.

After introducing himself to the stewardess and his identity confirmed, Dr Annuar was brought to a woman passenger who was suffering from breathing difficulty.

"I immediately came to the female passenger who was suffering from asthma attack.

"She needed an inhaler or nebuliser and luckily a passenger had an inhaler," the cardiologist shared in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

After a few puffs of the inhaler, the woman still had breathing difficulties, however, but her situation was rectified with the use of a nebuliser from the emergency kits onboard the MAS flight, he said, thanking the airline for the foresight to have such medical supplies on its flights.

"After that I had to make four copies of the medical report. Thankfully she arrived at KLIA safely," he added.

The comment section of his Facebook post was subsequently flooded with praises from netizens. - Bernama
