Nurse who saved an emergency patient for plane epilepsy while on paternity leave...a matter of course
Sep 08, 2025
It is belatedly known that a nurse on parental leave saved an emergency patient with epilepsy as an emergency measure.
According to Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital on the 8th, nurse Kim Ji-hye (34) heard a broadcast on the flight of Air Seoul from Fukuoka, Japan, to Incheon on the 8th of last month saying, `There is an emergency patient, so we urgently visit medical staff.'
However, there was no doctor on board, and nurse Kim quickly revealed that she was a nurse and offered to help.
The patient was a male of Korean nationality who had epilepsy and complained of general seizures and dyspnea.
Nurse Kim continued to provide first aid after measuring the patient's blood pressure and pulse, and the symptoms improved after staying by the patient until he regained stability.
Thanks to this, the aircraft was able to safely reach its destination, Seoul.
Nurse Kim was able to respond calmly like this because he worked as a dedicated internal medicine nurse and experienced severe patient treatment and nursing.
Nurse Kim's story began to be known through airlines and passengers, and the airline deeply thanked nurse Kim for her courage and dedication and delivered a letter of appreciation to the hospital.
"The thought of saving him came first," nurse Kim said. "I just did what I had to do as a nurse, and above all, I'm glad that the patient recovered his health safely."
