Maasmechelen “Is there a doctor on board?”, it sounded suddenly in the plane in which Julia Bels (22) from Maasmechelen was. Nobody responded, so offered the vijfdejaarsstudente medicine. She found that a Dutch forty-something terribly a lot of pain on his eye. “Because he was blind, told me the co-pilot on a layover to make,” says Julia.
Julia is a student in Maastricht and was made last Sunday together with her friend Max from Weeze on the way to the Moroccan Fez. She had actually been asleep when suddenly the call came. “First time I looked still a little bit of the cat out of the tree. I am a student and maybe there would be someone to get up with more qualifications. When that didn’t happen, was I right. The man had his hands in front of his eyes. Apparently, there was that pain in existence since the take-off and since then he saw nothing more. His eye was red and was on the tears. When I was out with a flashlight shone, responded to his pupil no more. That therefore meant that he is no signals more got in.”
Surgery retina
The victim was found a while back surgery to be due to a retinal detachment. To the eye after the operation, what additional support to give, was there a gas bubble is left behind. “Was the gas going off,” says Julia sober. “That is also the reason that one often asks not to fly or scuba dive after such a surgery. The man had the flight, however, not with his doctor discussed. I told my findings to the stewards and the man. Problem was that the plane was nothing they could do.”
Julia went back to sit and closed her eyes, but a moment later came the co-pilot along. Again she did her story. “The co-pilot asked what I would do in their place. I felt, however, that a preference was to land. I explained to it that it is not a very acute situation was, but that it is always better to as quickly as possible, to act. The effect of such a flight on the eye was me also not known. Because the man was blind, told I had to stop. You can only better all of the risks to exclude.”
