"Meanwhile, in an interview at the Correctional Institution (LP) Cipinang, Polly recalled," I met Munir at the door of a Garuda Indonesia, at the Jakarta airport. He asked at the door of the business, 'The seat is where?' I said, 'Gee Dad is in the economy, just a seat which I did not know.' Then, it's line up, there are plenty of other passengers going in, I'll let go first . I am a better crew relented, yet equally on a plane, no way left. After that, because I want to go into business space, the desire to move into the plane, I told Munir, 'I'm sitting in the business, if you want to be here, yes you ask the same old leadership of the cabin, if allowed so please, if not yes 're sorry.

On the way to the door of Garuda, he was greeted by a man. "You Mr. Munir, huh?" "Yes, sir." "I'm dr. Tarmizi We Hope Hospital. Mr. Munir doing to the Netherlands? "" I want to learn, want nge-charge one year. "" Where? "" Utrecht. "" Well, Indonesia lost, dong. You're an important person? "Commented dr. Tarmizi. "Yes ... it is necessary to me, sir," said Munir, smiling. "You do not you ever write about Aceh. How the heck, can not wrong is that? "Asked the doctor again, while both are running. "Ah, it depends on intent, Doc. '" Means? "" If the intention clear, three months is also wrong. "Later, West Sumatra-born doctor was out of his wallet and gave Munir his business card and said," Sometime, when necessary, please contact me. "Munir receive business cards dr. Tarmizi Judge, then they split. The doctor came into the business class, Munir toward the rear of the plane and sat in economy class seat 40G, as stated in his boarding pass. Because Polly only to Singapore, Munir returned to their original seats for flights between Singapore and Amsterdam. The total transit time in Changi (between block on and block off) is 1 hour 13 minutes, the amount of time used for refueling aircraft, replacement of the entire cockpit and cabin crew, as well as additional passengers from Singapore.
The plane took off from Changi at 01:53 local time. Flight to Schipol is led by Captain Pantun Matondang, the purser Madjib Nasution as a passenger service charge. Before the plane taking off, flight attendants Tia readiness check passengers for takeoff. While doing his duty, he was called by Munir Promag requesting medication. Detailed flight attendant named Tia Goddess Ambara asked Munir to wait a while because the plane will take off and the entire crew cabin to sit in their respective places. Approximately 15 minutes later, after the aircraft at an altitude safe, Tia began distributing blankets and earphones, followed by a bedtime meal. When Tia got 40G, boy gray shirt and black jeans were sleeping. Tia woke him and asked, "What you have to drugs from my friends?" "Not yet." "Sorry, we do not have a cure." Tia then offered food, which was rejected by Munir. However, this man asked for hot tea. Tia was serving hot tea is poured from a pitcher into a glass on the trolley. Munir received a helping drink it, complete with a sachet of sugar. When Tia went on to serve other passengers, Munir passed in the hall to the toilet. This is the first time Munir went to the toilet, about 30 minutes after takeoff.
Three hours was a big plane was flying and the sky was in India when Munir increasingly frequent trips to the toilet. When walking in the aisle cabin lit only by a reading lamp, she ran into Bondan Hernawa steward. He complained of abdominal pain and vomiting to Bondan, and asked him to call a dr. Tarmizi sitting in business class. Munir also gave him the name of the doctor's card. According to the procedure for this type of situation, Bondan was reported to the purser Madjib Nasution, who was in Purser Station. "Bang, this is Mr. Munir passengers we are sick. What a waste of water, vomiting. Here is his friend, a doctor, but I do not know where to sit. Can you check the seats, "he said, handing him a business card Bondan dr. Tarmizi. Madjib looking for passengers in the name of dr. Judge Tarmizi in Passenger Manifest and found him in seat 1J. He had not moved, Munir was in front of the Purser Station. While holding his stomach, Munir said, "I have been a waste of water, use vomiting as well. Maybe my ulcer recurrence. It should not drink grapefruit earlier time from Jakarta to Singapore. "Munir went on his way to the toilet. Bondan Madjib and then went and found 1J dr. Tarmizi was sleeping in the 1K, the chair next to his right who, because of the window and he found empty, and then she sat. "Doctor, doctor ...," Madjib trying to wake. Both were repeated several times in a louder voice, but it remains the surgeon sleep undisturbed. Munir Madjib meet again in the hallway and asked him to wake dr. Tarmizi itself, while Bondan went to the pantry to perform scheduling tasks. Finally, dr. Tarmizi wake. Munir describes her condition at that time looked very weak by saying, "I've vomited and defecated six times since the flight from Singapore." Dr. Tarmizi propose to Madjib Munir moved to a seat to the number 4 because the place was empty and close to him. Munir was sitting in seat 4D. Dr. Tarmizi take a position on his left side. "Mr. Munir eat anything the last two days," asked the cardiovascular thoracic surgeon's. Munir was silent, perhaps due to stomach pain. The question was greeted by Madjib, "Mr. Munir had had to drink orange juice, but not strong Munir orange drink because I have an ulcer." Munir remained silent, did not comment. "If the ulcer does not like this," said the doctor, who then asked Munir, "You eat what?" "It was okay. '" Yesterday "" It was okay. "" The day before?' "It was okay." The doctor did the general examinations with undressing patients. He then found the pulse at the wrist Munir weak. Doctors argue Munir showed lack of fluid from diarrhea and vomiting symptoms.
Munir returned again to the toilet, followed by doctors, stewards, and stewardesses. After vomiting and diarrhea, she returned to the seat 4D, while continuing to severe coughing. Dr. Tarmizi asked an attendant to fetch Doctor's Emergency Kit that each aircraft. The box was sealed in a state. After seeing it, he believes the drugs available are minimal, especially for the needs of Munir. Dr. Tarmizi require infusion, but no. There is no specific cure for heartburn stomach pain, vomiting drugs are also common. The doctor took his own medicine from his bag. He gave Munir New Diatabs diarrhea medication and drugs for nausea and bloating sore Zantacts and Promag. Two tablets to the first and each one tablet for the last two. Dr. Tarmizi then asked a flight attendant make tea sweetened with a little extra salt in it. However, five minutes after drinking warm tea, Munir returned to the toilet. Munir was completed after five minutes and opened the door. Dr. Tarmizi then led Munir walked down the aisle as he commented to the purser Madjib, "Why are not there yet infusion journey so far?" In the box there is a fluid plane Primperam drug, drug-nausea and vomiting, which is then injected dr. Tarmizi into Munir's body a number of 5 ml (dose of 1 ampoule). Injection in the left shoulder is quite influential because Munir went to sleep. Anguish subsides for 2-3 hours.
Munir got up and went back into the toilet. He's been in it long enough, about 10 minutes, and the door was not closed properly. Madjib ventured to look through the gaps that exist and knocked on the door, but no response from the people who are suffering in there. Madjib opened the door wider and saw a man 38 years was slumped on the toilet wall. Madjib Purser immediately call a doctor who for the last half hour at least know the condition of the passengers. Dr. Tarmizi invite Madjib and steward Asep Rohman Munir returned to the chair lift 4D. Once seated in a chair, Munir undergo examination by dr. Tarmizi, in the dark cabin lit only by a reading lamp.

Dr. Tarmizi opened the box and take the medicine again injecting drug Diazepam. This time, doctors inject 5 mg in the right shoulder, also with the help of the purser Madjib. The distance between the two injections about 4-5 hours. After injecting the sedatives, Munir still feel the heartburn in the stomach. Fifteen minutes passed and Munir to the toilet again, accompanied by a doctor, the purser, and flight attendants. In it, Munir vomiting, followed by waste water. Back to my seat, Munir said he wanted to sleep on their backs. Purser and his men spread out a blanket as a mat on the floor of the front seat 4D-E and a pillow on it. He was lying there, with two blankets again placed on the body for warmth. Dr. Tarmizi said to the crew cabin so that Munir was guarded, and that he wanted a break because of work tomorrow (he'll perform heart surgery in a hospital in Swole), while'm awakened when anything happens with Munir. Also, he asked that they ensure that tomorrow's doctors from Amsterdam into a plane carrying an IV. Afterward, the doctor returned to the chair at 1K and sleep.
