Block a lav so nobody needs to sit next to him for hours.
What? Are you suggesting propping him up and sitting him on the loo? There is just no good place on an airliner to deal with this unfortunate situation. The decision to divert should have been made at first sign of distress, Japan, Russia, China all have good facilities for these diverts. I wouldn't want to put my decision to continue ten more hours into the hands of someone on board who claims to be a doctor.
