So true! After witnessing a similar incident (not on a plane, but with lots of MDs around) I asked one of them how they decided who would deal with a patient -- the answer was that ER doctors trump everything else, and if there isn't an ER doc there's usually a family doctor who will take over. If it's all specialists, you might as well just go looking for a first aid kit...
