TL;DR Summary

NHS doctor Rashid Riaz used an Apple Watch borrowed from a flight attendant to aid an elderly woman experiencing a medical emergency on a Ryanair flight from Birmingham to Verona. The device helped him monitor the patient's oxygen levels, and he also requested an on-board oxygen cylinder to maintain her saturation levels until landing in Italy. Dr. Riaz praised the airline staff but called for all airlines to have emergency physician kits as standard, including basic medical tools, to potentially save lives in similar situations.
