A British woman collapsed mid-flight from Turkey, forcing an emergency landing in Croatia; she remains critically ill and needs help to return home for Christmas.
A 66-year-old British woman, Gina Thomson, remains critically ill in a Croatian hospital after collapsing mid-flight from Turkey to Edinburgh on September 9, prompting an emergency diversion to Zagreb.
The plane, carrying Thomson and her friend Aileen Willard, landed nearly 1,500 miles off course after she became unresponsive.
Cabin crew provided emergency care for 45 minutes before the landing.
Thomson, diagnosed with COPD, pneumonia, and undiagnosed conditions, was placed on a ventilator and later taken off it, but still requires a tracheostomy and specialized medical transport to return to Scotland.
The British Embassy is assisting, but a £25,000 transport cost is not covered, prompting a fundraiser to bring her home for Christmas.
