A nurse and her boyfriend helped save a man on a flight home to Baltimore from a vacation in the Bahamas.<\/p>\n
Emily Raines, who is an acute care nurse at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, heard a call from a flight attendant for anyone with medical experience on the plane – as a fellow flyer was having a medical emergency.<\/p>\n
Raines and her boyfriend immediately jumped into action as the surrounding passengers rushed to help by providing medical equipment.<\/p>\n
The ailing man had fallen unconscious with no pulse, and the\u00a0situation got worse as the man slumped over in his seat, face completely purple.<\/p>\n
Performing multiple rounds of compressions, Raines was able to revive the man roughly seven minutes before the plane landed.<\/p>\n
The man was immediately rushed to the hospital by emergency personnel once the plane had landed.<\/p>\n
Raines and her boyfriend received enthusiastic high-fives from their fellow passengers for their heroic efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A nurse and her boyfriend engaged in a heroic act mid-flight on their way back home to Baltimore from a vacation in the Bahamas.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":32955,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3096],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-good-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-22 19:13:26","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/good-news\/2023\/06\/nurse-boyfriend-save-man-on-flight\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34981"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34982,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34981\/revisions\/34982"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
