Desperate to write something that doesn’t sound plagiarized, is succinct and a good read. This story amused me as my husband is a commercial airline pilot, better you than he treating the patient, sounds like the altitude and hypoxia got to her, probably a nervous flyer- as you say much of our jobs are simple reassurance. Kind regards- PS love Texans have a great friend who has just gone back to live there, we miss her dreadfully. Cathy :-)<br /> </p> Dear Dr V

People like nurses, too. The airline thanked me by misplacing my luggage. You should have sent the airline a bill.</p> I was asked to assist another traveler during a recent flight because there wasn't a MD on the plane. People like nurses, too.

Been there a few times, done that and collected the airmiles. All while feeling incredibly inadequate (being a paediatrician). Now that I'm a bureaucrat, I'll be able to write the patient a memo...</p> <p>And you're probably right - the people you treated are really the flight attendants, in the same way that many consultations are done to reassure our colleagues.</p> Yep.
