I'm sure OP always intended to have a check w/ Doc. I think the OP figured at least some people on the board would have experience w/ the situation. While they may not be able to provide medical advice, posters can give insight into the airline side (e.g. are the GA's helpful in pre-boarding, what do you have to do to get the O2 tanks for on-board use, etc.)-these kinds of things the Doc probably wouldn't know as much about.
