Is there a doctor on board?
I'm a Paramedic Practitioner, not a Doctor, but in the past year or so, I've had to treat 4 people in flight and another one in a lounge and this strikes me as a dramatic increase compared to past experiences. I've also been flying commercial quite a bit lately (60+ flights a year) so I'm not sure if this is just a statistical thing (more flights=more potential to be involved in incidents), if this has just been a bad year, or if this kind of thing is getting more common.
How much do you fly (flights or miles) and how often have you heard the announcement?
