Oh please! People live to whine on those boards.
Guess that's the difference between us then, I can't even imagine having that reaction. I would have gotten off the plane and insisted on talking with someone in management. Surely a doctor can find a more professional way to handle the situation. His kicking and screaming was outrageous. I'd surely change doctors. Imagine how he'd handle screwing up your surgery.
I wrote in to a travel guy who helps you with issues once. My son had to change his flight due to his military orders changing. I posted on the American Airlines board and they offered to help, however this travel guy picked it up and asked people what they thought.
A majority of the people told me I should pay for the ticket and quit whining. It is very easy to have an opposing opinion when it's not you being inconvenienced.
Again, I can assure you, the majority of people on that flight just wanted the guy to get the heck off so they could go on with their lives.
Just my opinion, of course.
