This isn’t just a joke, it’s a true story.

A couple years ago, Jana and I were on a flight back from Hawaii. A few hours into the flight, a guy right across the aisle from us started shaking uncontrollably. I went deer-in-headlights like I usually do when something alarming happens, but Jana and a few others around him started calling the flight crew and taking action. A steward came running over first, and frantically did his best to assess the situation, and together with the group of passengers identified it as a diabetic seizure from low blood sugar (Jana has a nephew with Type 1 Diabetes and knew exactly what was happening). Through the violent shaking, the man was able to confirm that he did have diabetes. While the steward held the man’s hand, another flight attendant was told to quickly grab a non-diet soft drink for some quick access to sugar. She came back with a Coke in one hand and a cup of ice in the other. I don’t know if she was too stressed to think clearly or if she was just dumb, but she asked: “Would he like it in a cup with some ice? Or should I just give him the can?”
