LA doctor returning from her honeymoon delivers a baby on flight from Taiwan with the help of some Flight attendant




A Los Angeles doctor returning from her honeymoon ended up delivering a baby on an overseas flight when a fellow passenger went into early labor this week.


Dr. Angelica Zen, a resident physician at UCLA, says she didn't have much obstetrics training but didn't hesitate to help during the Air China flight from Taiwan to Los Angeles. Zen and her husband were on their way back from a honeymoon in Bali. 

Zen tells Los Angeles news station KABC-TV that flight attendants acted as stand-in nurses, and most passengers were asleep until the cabin lights came on for the delivery.
