Chaos ensued aboard an Indigo flight from Goa to New Delhi when Californian Jenny, traveling with her sister for a wedding, suddenly fell ill shortly after the flight took off. Within minutes, Jenny was unconscious, sparking an urgent response from passengers and crew asking for doctor assistance.
Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar, a former Karnataka Congress legislator and medical professional, responded swiftly to the emergency. She recognized the situation's seriousness even before the crew's formal call for medical help and rushed to Jenny's side when Jenny showed signs of severe dehydration and possible cardiac distress.
