    Is there a doctor on board? The midair emergency call medical professionals dread

    Doctors must assess the risk they can accept by treating someone 10,000 metres in the air and with a captive audience

      Airlines should have to pay anyone that volunteers. Really any business that suddenly requires its patrons to perform their job, should have to reimburse those people. If airlines don't like that, they should have to pay to have a doctor on every flight, like with air marshals.

      People treat medical professionals like they're some kind of charity service. If that's the case, we should all have government provided healthcare.

      I mean, if you were in a restaurant and a pipe burst and they ran out asking if anyone was a plumber, do you really think any reasonable professional plumber would just hop up and provide hundreds/thousands of dollars of free labor 'just cause'?

      Do those businesses give free or heavily discounted services to medical professionals in exchange? Oh yeah, that's right, they absolutely fucking DO NOT.
