    Should be illegal to seat young children away from their parents on planes. It's a significant security risk in emergencies. Paniced parents will inevitably hold up the evacuation to get their children. Families should always be seated together.

      My niece and her family were flying one-way to their new home. We made sure they were seated together. Unfortunately, at check-in, they were all scattered. Can you believe the airline put her infant (under 1 yr old) in his FAA approved car seat in a row with strangers?!!!! Fortunately, the gentleman was willing to swap seat. Ahem.. I would too if I found out I was seated with an infant and the other adult person is Not his parent!... I still can't believe that they would separate an infant to be with 2 complete strangers!

      It's actually not such a bad scenario to be down by one pilot! I mean, bad for the pilot, obviously, but that's why there's a copilot. I can't remember where I read it, but I do know of at least one instance where the pilot had a heart attack and the copilot flew the plane the rest of the way. Still not ideal, obviously, but hey, could be a lot worse! If it's both of them that are down for some reason - yeah, that's going to go horribly =P

    I feel you. PhD RN (with certifications in ER and Critical Care) . Last decade spent too much time in the air on international flights. It seemed I always found myself on the 'is there a doctor on board' flight flights - I'd sit - I'm not an MD (and pray for the person in need of care). Invariably a second call out for a Doctor, then they would ask - Is there anyone on board with medical training and then I'd get up. One flight -full on heart attack, and diversion of plan to Tokyo. Another flight THREE emergencies. First one I was upstairs, business class - we practically just took off and I was exhausted from a very tough week prior. I went down to economy with a guy with history of CHF that just left the hospital hours prior to boarding (thank you), get him stable with his own meds and monitoring, turn to leave and a DOCTOR comes up to me (I think - where were you before?) and says, "I think I am having a heart attack'! What the heck. Gives me his history, says he needs help and nearly falls into one of those jump seats the crew uses. SO, I have one guy (the CHF'r) on one side of the galley and the doctor who is self diagnosed his own heart attack on the other. Assm't and treatment were confired with the patient (the doctor) - and that one we had to divert to Germany. But during the diversion, still caring for the CHF'r and the MD with the heart attack - a woman in first class is having a 'headache like she has never had in her life', blinding, throbbing, disabilitating. Dear God I think - what is going on? The crew the entire time was very helpful, wanting to learn, and following me around the plane with their Medical kits (which were very limited I shall say). As I am assessing the woman with the headache, and trying to get a history the plane is cleared for landing and the crew pull me to a nearby jumpseat. We already had ambulances for the CHR'r and the heart attack (who I said was higher on triage list) and now I had the CHF'r ambulance/EMS (German) assessing the woman with the headache. I never had made it back to upstairs to my business class seat. A crew member had gathered all my things and met me down with the EMS crews and said thank you on behalf of all the crew. They took my name, professional license and other details for their records. I left the plane and felt as if I was in an alternate universe..........although the other people on the plan might have been slightly pissed about the fact they were in Germany and Not NYC - they were kind. I was happy for the 2 hour delay to re-gather my thoughts (as you always review the 'incident' whether you want to forget or not) and then be at peace, get something to eat, and get on the plane again. I sat in now First Class (thank you airline for the upgrade) and prayed to God to allow me to sleep which I did. This is one tale of many. So, I get you, fully understand.

When the rules started to change and surgery grew as a field and improved, surgeons then had to do a degree, but on principle they returned to Mr/Ms and reclaimed the power of Not being a doctor, but this time actually often being more advanced than Drs as they studied the same medical degree plus surgery skills.
