Megan Daub- Serving in an Emergency

City of Havelock Employee 

Saves Life During Flight

Megan Daub, Communications Supervisor, 

for the Havelock Police Department 

was in the right place at the right time 

on December 18^th, 2016. 

While flying home from Las Vegas 

to Raleigh-Durham Airport, 
Ms. Daub came to the aid

 of a fellow passenger in severe medical distress.  

The passenger was experiencing anaphylactic shock

 and could not breath. 

Ms. Daub, who is paramedic certified,

 immediately jumped into action 

and identified herself as such.  

Because of that she was able to access 

the on-board medical emergency bag

 that contained Epi-Pens and Benadryl, 

which are used to combat the shock.

Ms. Daub was able to stabilize the distressed passenger, 

who was able to then breath on her own. 

 In the meantime, the Southwest Airline flight

 made announced a medical emergency on board

 and diverted to Denver, where the passenger was met 

with medical personnel and taken to a local hospital.

There is no doubt that Ms. Daub saved the woman’s life

 as she was the only paramedic certified passenger

 on board who could have administered

 the lifesaving medical procedures.  

An e-mail from Southwest Airlines thanked her

 for assisting a fellow passenger. 

 “Your willingness to share your experience as a licensed paramedic is of great value, 

and we want to let you know 

that we appreciate your Good Samaritan efforts.”

The Havelock Police Department 

is very proud of Ms. Daub’s life-saving efforts. 

 She demonstrates the very best

 the Havelock Police Department has to offer.
