This was on a organ medevac flight, there were two other crews there who ended up having to order their dinner and dinner for their doctors teams because of this. Apparently this guy has also done this other times and even called ahead to reserve the sleep room for himself, his tail number is blocked, but it's a white Lear 35 w CC in the tail.

I'm not sure when this imaginary transformation takes place, but it didn't happen to you or me, for better or worse. I'm thinking for better.

When you comment on a profession that you have never practiced, it gives your opinions little weight, for they are based on what you've heard and read, rather than what you've experienced.

I am a member of a medical forum and actively volunteer at a hospital to satisfy my desire to be in medicine. I'd love to be in medicine as an MD or DO, particularly emergency medicine, I find it fascinating. That said, I'm also quite happy flying around the world.

It was a joke. You guys see the emoji? Sheesh, SNAPs.
(PS, my BS is in Biology, and I passed the MCATS, but decided to not go to med school cause I realized I'd have a horrible bedside manner. And the medical field is better off for it.)
