Most doctors won't admit to being a doctor in such circumstances anyway. If they do, they become responsible for the patient for the duration of the trip, and they don't get paid. They may have to make a call whether to emergency land early (pissing off everyone on the plane any delaying their own plans) or risking the life of the patient. It's a no win situation.

No win, you know... except potentially saving another human's life

Pretty sure it would be illegal to not help in quite a lot of countries, especially as a doctor. Apparently USA is not one of those countries.

All they have to do is have a glass or two of wine and say they're not able to act in a professional capacity.

Not sure if it's still the case, but airlines used to give flight credits to doctors who helped out. Probably not Spirit though...

I've heard many will not jump at it and hope someone else does. But I think most will at least eye the situation and see if they really urgently need medical attention, then sigh deeply and do it anyway if so.

Weve got a bootstraps mentality in the US. Its not worth helping others because 1. No one would help you and 2. Because youre putting yourself at risk by trying to be a good samaritan.

I really hope most doctors will save someone's life even if they don't get paid for it. But who knows? Maybe my faith in humanity is still higher than it should be.

I have 3 close friends who are doctors, I have zero doubt they would jump to help in an emergency (I've seen them all do it at various times, though not on planes).

I'm a shitty person, therefore everyone else is.

Unless you are incapacitated you need to help and two glasses of wine don't count here. But again this is valid for "normal" countries.

"is there a doctor on the flight?"
"yes! two glasses of picpoul de Pinet please"

"But you don't get paid! Why would you do something if you don't get paid for it!"
The brain of an American seems to be fundamentally broken at this point -

As usual Lemmy downvoting things they don't agree with, even if it's true.
I was with a physician friend on the Las Vegas strip as a guy went down with a heart attack. I'm like, this is your moment! Go save them! And she grabs my arm and yanks me into a doorway so I can't make a commotion, explains that no doctor will simply do that, it means they're on the hook for it, when an EMT is just minutes away and is properly prepared to handle it. She said if doctors didn't obey this unwritten rule, they'd constantly be giving out care to random people, possibly without admitting privileges in nearby hospitals, taking on liability they're not insured for (being outside of a hospital), etc.
So you're completely right.

It's the same interpretation of "do no harm" that abstaining US voters used in 2024.
Can't do harm if you first don't "do".
