I think you misunderstood my original post.

My concern was not that in case of any diversion I would not make it to my destination. I would, in any case. But the thought of a diversion, if found necessary, meant that there was an emergency and something very wrong with the patient. In such a case, I wouldn't like to be in that scenario with the plane descending at full speed not knowing when we'll lose the patient. It's mayhem which I think can be avoided!

Perhaps I should have also mentioned that I wasn't seated very far from the stretcher and just didn't approve of the arrangement
