I love talking to Donna at parties

A friend of hers is a doctor and was on an airplane recently on which a medical emergency took place. A passenger stopped breathing and passed out while the plane was in mid-air and the doctor was called to action by the captain and flight attendants. "Is there a doctor on board?!" He revived the woman somehow (I can't quite remember, but maybe he punched her in the stomach really hard until she woke up? That's how I'd handle it), set her up on an IV drip, got her calm and essentially saved the day. It was a feel-good experience for everyone involved. When he got back to his seat, the stewardess said the captain wanted to express his appreciation with a special gift for him to enjoy - and she came back with an extra dinner roll for the doctor.

Now, what the hell fourth world anus-pit was this pilot from that he thought a dinner roll was a fair reward for this heroicism? If it's a treat for this captain to occasionally add a little water to his dirt soup, then I could understand his gold standard level of appreciation being at a dinner roll, but if this dude thinks doctors should get paid in bread then he needs to get the hell out of communist Russia. His views on healthcare are even stupider than mine. Thanks for sharing, D.
