Sick woman finds 15 doctors on her flight

LONDON, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Having a heart attack on a trans-Atlantic flight is risky at best, but a British woman had 15 cardiologists rush to her aid, The Sun reported from London.

Dorothy Fletcher, 67, was flying to her daughter's wedding in Florida when she collapsed with chest pains.

A flight attendant put out an urgent appeal over the loudspeaker for a doctor, and 15 men stood up.

They were on their way to a conference in Orlando, Fla.

The Liverpool grandmother said she would like to thank them all, but has no idea who they are.

"The doctors were wonderful," she said. "They saved my life. I was in a very bad way, and they all rushed to help.

Following the heart attack, Fletcher spent two days in intensive care in North Carolina, but was released in time to attend the wedding.
