Eli5: What would be the protocol for the case of an Astronaut suffering a heart attack or similar serious medical condition, (and has it ever happenend before?) on the ISS?
In: 1111
I would assume aside from always having a doctor on the crew they would also have ground personnel at the ready to walk the astronauts through who would also have had some training on earth. and they only pick people who are in very good shape shape as well as not being 50+ so the likelihood of a heart attack is basically zero
