Korean Woman Suffers ‘Hypoglycemic Shock’ on Plane; Uzbek Doctor Rushes to Help [Warm Stories]

[Financial News]  A female passenger who showed signs of shock aboard a flight from Uzbekistan to Korea reportedly survived the crisis thanks to emergency treatment from an Uzbek doctor.
According to MoneyToday, Channel A and other outlets on the 14th, a post recently appeared on social media from someone who said they had witnessed an emergency on a flight from Uzbekistan to Korea on the 11th.
According to the author, identified as A, a female passenger presumed to be of Korean descent suddenly showed signs of shock. The woman was reportedly suffering from severe hypotension, with her diastolic blood pressure falling as low as 20 mmHg.
An Uzbek doctor who witnessed the situation stepped in to provide emergency care. The doctor, seated near A, reportedly gave the patient oxygen intermittently and administered an injection of dexamethasone.
Other passengers each opened their bags and took out water, candy, chocolate and other items to give the patient. Some also offered pillows and blankets, it was reported. Flight attendants moved through the cabin responding to the emergency, and the patient reportedly arrived safely in Korea.
A said, “I was moved by the warmth of the Uzbek people,” adding, “I don’t think there’s a more wonderful profession than one that saves lives.”
A later shared the doctor’s social media account and said, “I found out later that the doctor is from here and seems to have come to Korea for training.”
The doctor who helped the female passenger was identified as Hasan Kamilov, who runs an ear, nose and throat hospital in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. He has been traveling between Uzbekistan and Korea for eight years to learn Korean medical practices, and reportedly was also on his way to Korea that day for medical training.
Kamilov told Channel A, “When I began emergency treatment, every minute and second was critical to prevent complications affecting the heart and brain. I’m grateful to the doctors in Korea, and this learning experience has been a great experience for me.”
