Safe or (finally) sorry?

Well, the thread certainly provides confirmation and validity to a decision a friend made, after experiencing -- and surviving (surprisingly) -- a dissection of the aorta. He's stayed off airline flights entirely, despite being in better shape now after some minor-medical-miracle repair surgeries. Something about not wanting to have to convince crew to divert in case he might experience another similar medical peril; rather kick the bucket side of the highway waiting for EMTs than kiss-it-goodbye up in the sky.
