An organ transplant team's charter plane was unable to return back to St. Louis from Chicago due to bad weather. With only 8 hours to get the lungs back, they rushed to Midway Airport & were able to get on the only flight leaving that morning fox2now.com/news/missouri/…
“I walked up to the counter and told the ticket agent that I’m a doctor, this is a set of human lungs I’m carrying for an organ transplant, and you guys have a flight that leaves at 6:20. I need to be on it,” Dr. Caldwell said.
Dr. Caldwell said she and her team then sprinted through Midway with their scrubs on and with their precious cargo in tow.
“I just kept thinking how valuable what we’re doing is and that I’m not gonna let this not happen”
