While it is standard protocol to first find out if a medical professional is on board before calling a consultant, a diversion can cost as much as $200,000, and airlines look to avoid these diversions whenever possible.

After all, the ground consultant is in exactly as good a position as the on-board physician to determine what the heck is going on with the passenger. /sarc

More bottom line padding. Die, corporate scum!

Just wait until all of your doctor visits are either "group" sessions or are handled over the telephone. One to one hands on interaction with ah actual doctor will become rare except for hospital services. Of course the price of a visit will not go down.
