4,000 years of acupuncture here in China and good ole' Dr Marc was pressed into service to perform Western Medicine.
We're sitting here on the runway in Shanghai - waiting to take off for HK and one of our travel mates, Tom, passed out, came to and then had a full blown seizure. Oy vay ... Don't ask. His wife screamed and Marc rushed over, shoved the plastic water bottle between his teeth and tended to him. Thankfully, Tom came to - with no visual impairment but Marc said Tom had to get off the plane.
After some frantic calls to try to find "the best hospital in shanghai", Tom, his wife and another couple traveling with them were taken off the plane. Marc said that it was an act of god that we were on the runway and not in the air!
Well. You can't imagine what's going on here. (I'm writing this from the plane). Every one of our travel mates is breathing a sigh of relief that Marc did not go with them to the hospital. They are afraid to do anything unless Marc is with them. So far, he has assisted two travel mates who have fainted, a few with diarrhea, and several colds. What a vacation!! Haha
Shout out to our friend Tom for a quick recovery and a return to USA at some point. For now, Tom has been "Shanghi-ed".
