Wu Xiaobo, a thoracic surgery doctor with the People's Hospital of Wuxi, was flying to Los Angeles on Sept 29, 2017, when a fellow passenger fell unconscious and began vomiting.
Responding to an in-flight announcement for a doctor, Wu heeded the call, determining the man in his 50s likely suffered a stroke.
"Cerebral infarction patients may suffer another stroke, and possibly die, if they don't receive timely treatment," said Wu.
