Layover enough time to get baby medication
BY TERRY FLYNN
The Cincinnati Enquirer
HEBRON — Edy Black has seen about everything as one of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport's ambassadors for seven years, helping travelers with directions and lists of airport services.
Monday she was presented with something new: finding medication for a sick child newly arrived from France.
A young couple deplaned in the afternoon from a Paris-to-Cincinnati Delta flight. After working in Paris for two years, they were returning to their home in Boston.
Their 16-month old son was running a 104-degree temperature when they arrived, and the flight for Boston didn't leave for five hours.
“They came to us in Terminal B,” Ms. Black explained.
She said the couple explained their problem, asking whether there was a pharmacy at the airport where they could have a prescription from a Paris doctor filled. There is no airport pharmacy.
Ms. Black and Ms. Maric, 16, contacted Burlington Pharmacy Health Care.
The prescription and the family's medical insurance were confirmed, the prescription was filled, and a driver delivered the medicine to the airport.
“The little boy was very ill, and they were a young couple who were really worried,” Ms. Black said. “They were able to give the little boy the medicine and eventually get on their flight to Boston.”
She also credited the pharmacy, which delivered promptly and declined to charge for the trip from Burlington.
