Went to see my doctor today. I had been able to book an appointment only some weeks ahead thanks I thought to his busy schedule. Well when we arrived we were told that alas he would be late for the appointment thanks to a snafoo with the airlines in Canada.
An hour or more after the appointed time there he was looking refreshed changed and ready to go. He admitted at the end of the appointment as we were about to leave that he had been ready to board the aircraft in Canada when it simply disappeared off the screens - delay until the following day hence his lateness.
We thought he was OK until well after the appointment I noted the referral he had signed it was dated a month earlier than the date that he had seen me. OOPS! Disorientation as to time and place is usually an issue for us normal humans - imagine what it can do to people who are practising medicine!
The moral of this story is to expect the unexpected and to make provisions to sleep wherever you can and whenever you can when you travel on a long distance plane journey - the life you save may well be someone else's.
