Are you saying that all the emergency drugs in an ambulance are available without a Dr's concent? When I was a volunteer paramedic, all of the drugs on our ambulance had prescriptions on file from our medical director.

Not to mention, most major airlines today have instant medical consultation available to the flight crew, via satellite link. Happy Flying! Scott Skylane |

Hi, I have a question from a friend. Her daughters have nut allergies. She wants to know how long it takes from cruise (41K?) to a gate from the time they notify the crew of a medical emergency (e.g. anaphylactic shock). Obviously it depends on their proximity to a suitable airport, but I'd like to hear from the airline pilots in this group. She is specifically referring to a flight from the SF Bay Area to the NY area. She does have some medication/injection to give them, but obviously she would want real medical treatment ASAP. As a pilot, what kind of descent rates can a 737/A320/747 etc get in a medical mergency? Would this descent rate be different than a descent for decompression? Thanks, Hilton Several years back I was on a flight from Atlanta to Orlando on a B-757. About halfway there we were at 31000 ft. and I heard one flight attendant tell another "We're got to get this stuff (referring to service items)picked up NOW!" About that time the spoilers popped up, and we nosed down. There had been smoke in the passenger cabin, with somewhat of a electrical insulation odor and we were heading to Jacksonville as fas as we could get on the ground. As I recall, we were on the ground and at the gate in less than 15 minutes from the first indications of an 'event'. (The problem turned out to be a minor short in the crew computer.)

No, airline personnel aren't nearly as well trained as paramedics. Some of the stuff can be used only if an MD can be found on the flight. |

So are you saying the Epipens that several of the dads in the troop who are medical doctors put in the kit are fake? I'm saying that each needs a prescription for use. Epipens contain controlled substances. They can only be used subsequent to a valid prescription. You cannot just carry them around for self-service any more than you can carry Fentanyl around. |

You just simply don't know what you are talking about. Federal regulation pertaining to U.S. certificated Part 121 air carriers trumps any prescription laws. § 121.803 Emergency medical equipment. And, in particular, Appendix A to 121.803. |

Hilton Yes, but what counts is the PICs risk/benefit assessment for the other passengers and crew. |

The law requiring things to be dispensed only on the order of a physician is a federal law. Now, it is possible that the law that authorizes the FAA also creates an exemption to the Food & Drug Act (or whatever it's called), but the FAA itself cannot override a law. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net http://www.hercules-390.org (Yes, that's me!)
