My fascination with aviation and medicine led me to the unique field of Flight Surgery. I was inspired by the challenges of ensuring the health and safety of pilots and aircrew, especially in high-stress, high-altitude environments. The opportunity to combine my passion for medicine with aviation safety was a compelling draw.

I have extensive experience in aerospace medicine, including certification in aviation physiology and several years of practice in a military flight clinic. My work has involved conducting pre-flight medical evaluations, managing in-flight medical emergencies, and researching the effects of altitude and G-forces on human physiology.

Handling flight-related medical challenges requires a deep understanding of aviation physiology and quick decision-making. I rely on my training in high-altitude medicine and my ability to adapt treatment protocols to the constraints of an aircraft environment. Effective communication with pilots and ground support is also crucial.

Maintaining aircrew health involves a proactive approach, including regular medical screenings, fitness programs tailored to flight requirements, and education on nutrition and stress management. I also emphasize the importance of mental health and provide resources for psychological support to ensure crew resilience.

In the event of a medical emergency during flight, my first step would be to stabilize the patient using the limited resources available on board. I would then coordinate with ground medical teams to prepare for an emergency landing and post-flight medical care. My priority is to ensure the safety of the patient and the continuity of the flight mission.
