Even if it was somewhat f***** up. He could have at least got up and tried.

If the doctor treated this person, and then he died, he would have gotten sued, lost his license, and maybe even sent to prison. Absolutely, he made the right choice.

I think it makes sense. You dont want a doctor trying to treat you who is very likely to harm you in a drunken state

Absolutely the right decision

I think it's amazing that more women are self advocating! There are so many unnecessary interventions that, besides for discomfort, actually lead to more interventions. Often at the women's expense, just because hospital/doctors are afraid of malpractice, so they cover their asses with all these requirements.

That doctor made the right choice. If anyone is too impaired, they should not be helping because it could have made things worse.

He probably made the right choice!

Yes he did. The could have been sued if he helped during the emergency and something he did caused the other person more harm. Drs are not supposed to do anything while intoxicated. They will have no coverage and could lose their license to practice

Definitely made the right choice! Sounds like a really good doctor and not one of the arrogant ones😮

Ty❤

Any doctor has the same right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Becoming a doctor is not an obligation to help anyone any time. One does not become a slave. The doctor did fine.

I believe I am experiencing this now it’s sorted at 15 weeks and I’m approaching 17 weeks and a couple days. The only thing that makes me unsure is the fact that my doctor were not able to locate it on an ultrasound.so they said they can’t say what it is but that it could be this. Trying to stay positive and keep faith knowing baby’s looking great and everything else is as well.

My last baby was the funniest labor. I started having contractions at midnight, they got super strong within 30 minutes so I went it he hospital. I waited for about 10 minutes to get into a room, as soon as I changed and laid down, I asked if I could get on all fours because my back was killing me. I started laughing super hard and my water broke. I wasn’t pushing but my body was ejecting the baby lol! The doctor freaked out and kept telling me to wait so she can prep, I told her “I’ll catch her” and I put my hands under me and caught my own baby 😂 I was laughing so hard the entire time. She told me that she’s never seen anyone laugh during labor, especially unmedicated. I turned back around and gave my husband a high five and said “whew I did it, that was fun” while the baby was just laying on the bed 🤣🤣 it was hilarious! It happened so fast! Nothing but adrenaline the entire time. Laughing is the only way I cope with pain.

He made the right decision, dude was on vacation, he had alcohol. If a hospital says don't come to work intoxicated what makes people think he is sober enough to help when he is off duty??

When you have an important skill like that, it can be a lot for social pressure to always be ready to provide care in such a situation. Therefore this person isn't ever socially "allowed" to be drunk. Well...I don't drink and I'm never drunk and I think no one should ever be drunk so there I said it, unpopular opinion I know 😅

you don't make sober decisions with an inebriated mind

He made exactly the right choice.

The Doctor was correct.

I feel like he should have warned everybody look I've been drinking I'm not in my right state if you want me to hear out the problem I will but I am not responsible for anything to do with this person I can try to give you some advice but as a disclaimer I have been drinking so it may not be a good idea. I don't blame him for saying I won't help in all honesty I probably wouldn't either in that situation it takes a long time to get a medical degree

Not causing harm vomes before fixing the booboo so just like a pilot gets final say if you need to be kicked off a flight the person with the life in their hands gets to decide

How did the passenger know he was a doctor ?😅

Youre no doctor if houre asking youtube its opinion. You should already know.

He absolutely made the correct decision. Good Samaritan act protects people assisting under normal circumstances. However, it does nothing to protect anyone who is too impaired to assist but does it anyway. He also has a license to protect.

Don't drink and drive as they say I wouldn't want a drunk Dr helping me

Why are you doing makeup.. omg. .

It depends on the situation. If he is the only person to possibly be able to save the life of that person then he should do what he can but if it’s not life threatening then no the doctor did the right thing

He should have at least looked to see what was wrong....I don't know if he ethically could refuse to care for the passenger.....but legally if he was drunk, he might be liable for any mistakes made.

Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they have to help if they're not at the hospital. Sorry to say it

Yes he knew he was impaired and knew that he was not in any condition to help anyone.

The Doctor can do whatever he wants ! or not !

If i were a doctor, i would not tell random people i was a doctor.

❤❤❤

He absolutely made the right call.

How did the passenger next to him know he was a dr???

He'd probably be covered by a good Samaritan law if he was the last option and the issue became critical. I have no idea what the licensing board would have said. I'm guessing it didn't get critical so he probably did the right thing. If it had become critical, he might have reconsidered or given advice but not touched the patient.

If the patient died for helping, he would have gotten sued for that. Did the patient die without this Dr's help?

If doc would've tried to help and the victim still died, then they would say "you killed him!! You were drunk!" Good job doc...

Why the hell do I want to watch you put makeup on?

So sick of these makeup and make a point video.

He chose wisely

He probably could have directed another passenger who was willing to help with the needed aid unless he felt he was too drunk to do that. Then since doctors have seen this dying part lots of times didnt want to be interrupted on his flight since he was very relaxed from the drinks. I don’t condemn the doctor for what his actions after all he has a right to back off bcuz of drinks.

Yes, Cause no harm!

I guess it depends on the nature of the emergency. Obviously, he wasn't expected to perform surgery on the flight, so he may have been capable of rendering aid, or at least instructimg others. That said, legally, he could be sued either way. As the only doctor on the flight, he could be sued for not helping. As a drunken doctor, he could be sued for malpractice. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

As a nurse, if i was ever in his situation, id 10000% make the same call. We would get fired(rightfully)if we showed up to work inebriated due to the risk we would pose to patients, this is the same logic. And given how sue happy society is, if the doctor helped and the pt still didnt make it or was even injured, they would try to say it was because the doctor was drunk. Nah he did a favor to the pt AND his liscence by saying no, n that passenger who tried to shame them can sit on a cactus

He was responsible, and I would not want a drunk doctor treating me

The doctor was right

The person sitting next to him was a simpleton. The doctor swore an oath to do no harm. He was keeping his path.

I might still want his opinion but if he felt that he was too buzzed up he made the right decision.

As well as he was aware of his impairment if something happened to the person the Blame would be his burden but that is the healthcare system today a capable doctor even if after a drink could have helped but the consequences are redic😊

As a paramedic; if I’m not on duty; I ain’t volunteering. Ppl WILL sue you for saving their life. Shoulda kept his mouth shut from the beginning.
