A California doctor has shared that American Airlines sent her and her boyfriend separate thank-you letters after they both helped during an in-flight medical emergency, but only addressed her male partner as “Dr.” while referring to her as “Ms.” The doctor, who posted about the incident on Reddit’s r/mildlyinfuriating community, said both she and her boyfriend are practicing physicians and were equally involved in the emergency response.
According to her post, the two were on a flight when a serious medical emergency broke out. She said both physicians stepped in, spent the flight conferring about whether to divert the plane, helped manage the patient medically, and were met by paramedics upon landing. The flight attendant, she said, collected both of their information, including their titles and medical specialties.
