Blue Jays-What is your proposed solution for people with medical conditions...?

oldsicilian- If one has medical issues, pre planning won’t work.

Bottom Line: As best you can, make arrangements before there is an emergency.

First, if you have a medical issue, do your research before you travel. Understand the restrictions you may face and how they may impact you.

Second, do what you can to mitigate the risk of an incident, talk to your doctor. This may include wearing Depends or other garments to mitigate soiling your clothes.

Third, talk to the airline beforehand. As you board, talk to the cabin crew, let them know what is going on. Prior communication with the right person can prevent misunderstandings.

Most of the incidents we hear about are at least partially about miscommunication. Passengers must also understand that once on board, and the doors are closed, they can't simply move about the cabin.

Good grief. How about the airline showing humanity to a customer who needs 60 seconds to resolve a fleeting issue with dignity?
I have a younger relative who is worldly, successful, urbane, and probably makes more salary than all of us on this thread combined. She runs marathons and is a terrific mom.
She is also a diabetic and occasionally struggles with blood sugars that go high or low at times. When high, she drinks more and urinates more.
No need to put an achiever like that in Depends just because takeoff is very late.
