Cool 6 year old thread revival.

Original Poster never logged back into APC since 2011, likely went back to his mom's basement to finish his Dungeons and Dragons game

3rd Hand Information
 
We have a guy somewhere on our seniority list who is actually an AA pilot and an Emergency Room doc. I haven't seen him in a few years now, so he may have switched equipment or bases. When I met him, he was flying and working in the hospital on his days off. I asked him which he liked better, and he said flying and it wasn't even close. Not sure how well that translates to being a Dentist, but it's some information.

NYC guy? We had a guy go through med school while an active pilot back around the late 1990's/early 2000's. Got leaves of absence. Became a flight surgeon. I think he eventually quit. Heard of a new hire (2014+) who was an ER doc in NYC. Might be the same guy.

Playing with cute babies and getting paid for it certainly was nice, but I've done it for a long time, and I don't feel like I am being challenged intellectually .

Illegal in most states.

Could be, but don't think so. Pretty sure he was Chicago or Miami. Maybe there are a few of them floating around.
