Spirit really said “we’ll get you there… hopefully”

Anyone who thinks doctors don't fly Spirit, but can explain why they haven't updated any of the magazines in the waiting room in twenty years, please speak up.
Because they don't have to read the magazines in the waiting room? They would have to suffer through a shitty flight though. They spend money on things that affect them personally, I feel like it's not that hard to understand.

You're the only one who hasn't just been using your phone in waiting rooms for 20 years.

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.
Do they serve wine on Spirit Airlines?

Who the fuck reads magazines in a waiting room when you have the entire internet in that small device in your hand
Shit I have a huge library of books I've pirated (I've already got them in hardcover at home) that I read.

I mean... It's right in the name...

Or maybe a doctor of literature.

Doctor in board: "Help, I'm trapped in a board! Is there a carpenter on the flight??"
TBF attendants on Spirit likely know it's the end of the road for their career and they don't GAF.

Spirit Airlines letting your spirit fly because you died in flight.

medical equipment can block the 5g
That's when you play the staring game -
Doctor in board: "Help, I'm trapped in a board! Is there a carpenter on the flight??"
Carp Enters: "Help, I cant breathe! Is there a fish tank salesman on the flight?"

Of course it can only surely be decided in a court. But in this case it would be something like was not actively trying to cause harm.
If a doctor has to defend themselves in court they have to pay a lawyer, spend a bunch of time on it and it's a huge stressor. Much easier to just stay quiet. Almost all doctors would step in and save a live if there was something specific that they needed to be done. But in an airplane, there's barely any equipment - all of the stewards are going to be trained in first aid and cpr, so are likely better able to manage anything that can be done. The only reason they ask for a doctor is because it's a trope that people expect (so people would be upset if they didn't, and so didn't appear to be doing all they could), and to share the responsibility.

Of course, but because the law is so protective you won't need to 99.9% of the time. Canada also isn't a very litigious place and even if it does get raised it will probably get thrown out quickly. To most doctors it is also a huge stressors to watch someone that they can help die. So overall the balance is well worth trying to help out.

and for the rest of your life every job and license application require you to explain every lawsuit even if it ends up being settled etc

If they are asking it is explicitly because it's beyond basic first aid and they're scared. The plane is landing either way, if they are already asking for a doctor, then the decision was already made by the pilots. Afterwards it's a matter of providing proper care until delivered to a emergency services at the airport. All doctors I know will absolutely respond to such a call on a plane, but medical assistance doesn't always include touching or doing something to the patient. Often, it's just looking at them or talking to them (if they're conscious) and advising the flight crew on what the proper care should be like. Ultimately, doctors are useless without proper infrastructure and resources. A surgeon without a hospital is as helpless as the patient and no first aid carries a pharmacy.
as a surgical specialist i am very not qualified to treat heart attacks (which other than chewing an aspirin and breathing oxygen requires a massive cath lab and an interventional cardiologist or a cardiac surgeon with a special OR including a cardiopulmonary bypass pump and a perfusionist; my current decent size hospital on the ground has neither of these) and barely more useful than a medical student at 99% of various medical problems a normal person may have. without a knife, anesthesia, and millions of dollars of equipment i'd just be asking chat gpt how to do breathing exercises with an elderly person having a panic attack

Or maybe a doctor of literature.
I'm a PhD but how can I help?.
