Now landing in...Milwaukee??

I've never diverted for a medical emergency before. Today was my first time. The
woman is ok, she said she fainted but was still pretty out of it so she was taken off the plane for further assistance.

Now here's what that was like for the person sitting in the seat directly behind her (I would hve interviewed the woman but she was out of it, only spoke Turkish, and I think it would have been rude) who happens to have been me. I was woken from a dead-to-the-world sleep by women speaking/screaming in another language and shaking the seat in front of me. Flight attendants responded and put out a medical call. A sherriff responded. A dentist showed up second. Funny part about that: they asked him if he was a doctor, he said dentist, and the look the FA gave him was...classic! Somethin along the lines of: are you going to clean her teeth? Or do you even know how to do this stuff? Funny. Anyway he sat down because the female sherriff was busy saving the day.

We diverted to Milwakee, which is where we are right now. I should make my connecting flight, I just hope my bag meets me there! I think we're about to take off, so I'm going to sign off.

As some of your texts have said...let the adventure begin. :)
