4. Obtain prescriptions needed prior to travel and/or check at airport #pharmacy prior to departure as there is no assurance of care (I was the *only person that responded for example in this case & medications were limited) on plane. #emergencymedicine #medical #medicalcare.

1. Carry enough/ all pediatric medications (especially antipyretics eg ibuprofen or acetaminophen/ equivalents),.2. Carry all regularly scheduled medications (should be natural),.3. Carry administration devices for medications, in case of a sick child, eg syringe for liquids.

This is my ?5th or 6th time responding to an in-flight emergency and have (unfortunately) seen a number of medical boxes. This is less so a blast on Turkish and moreso an alert to them and anyone flying Turkish/ traveling as #parents of sick #children - apparently, extra caution.

I had the fortune of traveling @TurkishAirlines (again) last week. And the case of an in-flight #emergency with a sick child. I came to find out that the #medical box on the plane, unfortunately, did not seem to have pediatric dosing for meds ie adult only oral #medications.

Finally caved. (Honestly, just didn’t want yet another social media THING to do.). Either way! Community is key. See you there! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

PS by lack of emotions management, I mean flying off the handle w/o boundary and/or being truly unpleasant as a person. Also, this is a commiserating post — it doesn’t matter how “senior” one gets…there’s always someone more senior who has the opp to wreak havoc. Protect you 4/.

never met them. Is this a factor of being a #senior #academic, a trend of (lack of emotions management in) the generation above us or something else? Either way, like I always tell my mentees, having a “CLOUD” of mentors is so key, because ppl disappoint. @AcademicChatter 3/.

Random rant: that saying “don’t meet your heroes” has been my uncanny disappointment in #globalhealth. Each “hero” I’d always wanted to meet (3, in particular) -once I got to know them- were either so rude, very self-absorbed or simply lacked emotions management. I wished I’d 2/.
