Another time I was patched through to the Mayo Clinic to help with a guy having difficulty breathing. It is difficult at best to deal with these problems in the air.
You have had tons of paperwork to fill out????
All the times (at least 8-10) I have responded, I have only had to fill out a lengthy form one time! The form I have to fill out to book a surgical case (yes, I too, am a surgeon) is longer than the "paperwork" on the flight. It seems the Purser is the one that has to fill in tons of paperwork. Last time in Feb this year, I didn't fill out a thing.
