Th’ Gaussling has been on the road the last few days visiting one of the states shaped like an oven mit up along the north coast.  This is my first visit to this area during the summer. It is very beautiful country.

We had an inflight medical emergency enroute to a stop in the Windy City.  The call came over the PA “Is there a doctor on the plane?”.  Two vacationing MD’s, one in a fishing vest, rendered aid to a fellow who had a seizure.  They had the poor sod on the floor with a saline i.v. and O2 for 90 minutes. The guy was lucky that he had more than an Untied (Airline name purposely altered) Stewtron to look after him. A business associate had the same experience the same day on the same route, but on a different flight. Curious.  [Note to self: Bring meds on trip.]
