Saudi Doctor Hailed Hero After Saving  Man on an Air Canada Flight

A Saudi doctor has been hailed a hero after saving an unconscious man onboard an Air Canada flight. 

Dr. Awrad Mohammed Nasrallah immediately offered assistance after the cabin crew asked for any medical professionals onboard.

The man, who the doctor attended to, experienced a severe drop in blood pressure, which caused him to become unconscious. 

Dr. Nasarallah provided the man with the necessary treatment, after which he slowly revived. 

The cabin crew expressed their gratitude to Dr. Nasrallah and Air Canada also thanked her for her help during the flight. 

The incident was not a first for the Saudi doctor, as she had also helped a young man on board a German flight months earlier. 

The 19-year-old with a disability stopped breathing on the flight and Dr. Nasrallah performed first aid on him before ensuring he was supplied with oxygen.
