Answer Example
"Last week, I had a very ill passenger who was vomiting profusely. We had a doctor on board whom I asked for assistance so that we could determine whether it was an emergency or simply a virus or food poisoning. I offered the patient a new seat in an aisle closest to the washroom while moving the other passengers to another seat. I was able to get the passenger comfortable with a warm blanket, ginger-ale and a cold pack."
