URINE-CREDIBLE Hero doctor saves air passenger’s life by sucking urine from his bladder non-stop for 37 minutes mid-flight

Footage from on board a China Southern Airlines plane to New York shows Zhang Hong spring to action to help the stricken 70-year-old.

Dr Zhang rushed to aid the man after he collapsed in agony and told cabin crew that he was unable to urinate.

A makeshift catheter failed to relieve the ailing passenger’s blocked waterworks – leaving little time before his bladder would fatally rupture.

Vascular surgeon Dr Zhang and his colleague Dr Xiao Zhangxiang decided the only course of action was to remove the urine manually.

Dr Zhang used the improvised catheter – made using a plastic tube, syringe and a milk straw – and spent nearly 40 minutes sucking almost a liter of liquid waste from the man’s bladder with his mouth.

  2. I was in that same situation while traveling a year ago. I chose to go to the hospital rather than get on a transcontinental flight. I flew home with a catheter and a pouch strapped onto my ankle.
    Great doctor. Idiot patient.

    PS – If you have BPH don’t take Sudafed.

  7. Having a catheter strapped to your leg for a week is no fun, believe me. And self cathing was worse. This all happened to me a year ago and I don’t wish it on anyone and I’m glad they fixed it for now at least. I don’t want to do it again if I have to.

  17. Be glad it was a Chinese doctor, not an American one. If an American doctor can’t prescribe or give an expensive drug to relieve an immediate health problem, he likely has not been trained in actual improvised medical procedures. This man was lucky to have a real doctor on board to put the personal effort needed into saving his life. I don’t doubt that many persons would gag at the very thought, if indeed they thought at all. Biological reality is not exactly pleasant. Real doctors are dedicated to helping, if they are not hindered by the FDA and restrictive government regulations. They probably would not have given approval to this procedure if the pilot had asked for permission first. And the airline bosses would likely have prohibited it, too. So when will the movie be made based on this emergency?

  22. Reminds me of the joke about the guy who was snake bit on his pecker.
    Speaking of snake bit, I had a foley catheter when hospitalized for snakebite.
    When the nurse pulled it out she said: “Scream when I tell you.”
    If you don’t know what a foley is, look it up.
    As big around as a pencil.

  25. Now that’s what I call dedication to one’s profession.

    My doc spends barely 10 minutes with me (of which 9 are spent typing notes), before he abruptly announces “good to see you again” on his way out the door to the next patient.

    PS. But we do talk politics and he’s a Trumper, so I guess I’ll keep him. 😉
