(I wrote this four weeks ago, but I had limited internet access while I was on vacation in Greece.)
On the plane to Greece, I listened to an episode of Cabin Pressure. I thought it’d be neat—Cabinception— and since it’s a sitcom, there wouldn’t be anything to freak me out mid-flight.
Well, I was almost right.
I listened to “Boston” (series 1, episode 2) and the bit comes up with Martin asking over the intercom for any doctors on the flight.
Half an hour later on my real-life flight, the captain made a similar announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, one of our passengers requires medical assistance. If you have had any medical training, please notify a flight attendant.”
Fortunately, we had a couple doctors and a nurse on board, the man who was ill got better, and the captains didn’t have to yo-yo between diversion destinations.
(I didn't listen to any Cabin Pressure on the way home. Just in case.)
