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
Everyone sent to the ISS is (to the best of our ability to determine) in peak physical condition, so the odds of something going catastrophically wrong are very low. However, if it does, everyone on the station has basic medical training, and there is a capsule that they can put people in and send them back to Earth in an emergency.
