In some regions “physician” is specialist internist rather than a surgeon for example. My fave story is someone I knew who was an ER doc 25 years ago had a pt collapse with tension pneumothorax and he fashioned an intercostal drain and cannula from a (metal) coat hanger, oxygen tube and a plastic bottle of water on a BA EU flight. 20 something woman, made it home just fine. You need a surgeon or ER doc for that not an internal medicine doc I suspect.
