Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, a practicing Gynecologist before her political entry, grabbed a stethoscope on Saturday to rescue her co-passenger after the IPS officer complained of breathlessness while she was returning to Hyderabad from Varanasi via New Delhi.
The governor responded to a panic call at 4 AM on Saturday from the IndiGo's air hostess in mid-air. "There was a panic call from air hostess while the flight was in mid-air. Got up to rush to the rear to see a passenger looking drowsy sweating profusely C/o indigestion symptoms? Made him lie flat checked vitals wWith FIRST AID & supportive drugs & assurance there was a smile on his face as much as on Co passengers. On arrival, he was transported in a wheelchair to the airport medical booth. Appreciate IndiGo airhostess & staff for timely alert & facilitation," Guv Tamilisai wrote on her Twitter handle.
