Excellent job with ethics practiced in such manner rare to be seen. May God bless him, he should be recognized for his service.
If catheter was available, inspite of sucking it could have drained with gravity and very well collected.
No thanks was sufficient for excellant service he had given and should be recommended for International or national award
No words in appreciation of on flight doctor, he deserve best humanitarian award in medicine
I wish the entire flight members, crew and passengers should have given him a standing ovation and recommended him for a national award.Hope it was done
Strange.If a hypodermic needle was available,simply puncturing the UB suprapubically would have been enough.
He might have tried everything available. Suprapubic option was easier but in the given situation he might have opted the best in hand. Kudos our colleague.

Thank you Doctor for relieving pain of acute retention of urine with such innovative action.
I doubt if it is true..... if ..... as they say...... he sucked out with the mouth, it could be possible with syringe also. Even, this much amount of urine may come out of its own as soon as you insert needle into the bladder in suprapubic region.... But ,,,,,,, sucking with mouth .......doubtful..
Dr must have attempted suprapubic aspiration before sucking by mouth, but it’s not clear from information whether crew could provide suitable syringe needle. Yet, he must have done the best job in available set up
I do not understand why one has to suck the urine.A suprapubic needle aspiration would have been equally effective and safer.. The condition is Acute retention of Urine,not dysuria.
The doctor should be thanked and respected for his sincere and sympathetic behavior. 🙏
A doctor has been addressed for saving an elderly mans life by sucking urine from his bladder during mid-flight to New York.
The Mirror reported that the elderly man suddenly suffered dysuria, a painful condition characterized by difficult and painful urination, when the aircraft was about six hours away from its destination.
Zhang Hong, Vascular Surgeon from China, was on board of a China Southern Airlines flight from Guangzhou to New York.
The cabin crew was informed about the passenger who was in need of medical assistance. When they checked on the passenger he was not being able to urinate. Dr Zhang stepped in, and found that the mans bladder was filled with about one litre of urine as he was unable to urinate. The urine had to be released immediately to prevent his bladder from rupturing.
To save the passengers life, the doctor prepared equipment from the material available onboard, including a portable oxygen mask, a syringe needle, a bottled milk straw and tape. Zhang tried to use the syringe to extract the urine, but, it didnt work. The doctor then finally decided to suck the urine out using his own mouth.
He used a catheter and sucked approximately 800ml of urine in the next 37 minutes. The urine was filled into bottles by the cabin crew to measure how much urine had been taken out and get a better idea of the patients condition.
The patient was taken to a hospital as soon as the airplane landed. Dr Zhangs quick-thinking saved the elderly mans life.
