Mobile Update: Is There a Doctor Onboard?

Seriously. What is up with the 06:35 flight (WN-1397) from Seattle to Chicago on Fridays? Two weeks ago, on the exact same flight, we had to stop in Lincoln, NE because a passenger had a medical emergency in-flight. Well, I'm having a bad case of deja-vu, as I heard an announcement overhead inquiring if there was a doctor onboard, just like in the movies. As I type this draft blog on my N95 midair, I can feel the plane drop in altitude, and a slight change in direction in an otherwise non-eventful direct flight that should keep us in a constant cruising altitude for the majority of the 4 hours and 30 minutes airborne time.



I honestly hope whoever the ill-stricken passenger is not in any immediate danger and can survive long enough to see miles of corn that leads up to the Lincoln, Nebraska airport. It'd be nice to revisit, but I wouldn't be opposed to stopping somewhere else for a 'change in scenery.' I'll be sure to update you once I land and connect to AT&T.



Oh, I should also add that unlike the flight two weeks ago today, today's flight is filled with doctors! I remembere talking to a couple doctors at my hotel in Seattle over the week because there was a medical convention!



I wonder if the commotion a few rows behind me is playing out like a scene in Grey's Anatomy where a bunch of doctors and residents argue over possible diagnosises. :)
