Geez O'Leary. Way too much information. I realise that you medics face it all day long, but I AM eating my dinner in 10 minutes.!
Years ago, when Pontius was a Pilate, I travelled on a Vanguard down to Lourdes on a Cheshire Homes charter. The outbound flight had taken them down, and we were picking these people up. The Lourdes trip was their final desperate trip to get cured or to get a bit better, or simply to get at peace with themselves. The Last Hurrah.
The mix of pax included Sick Pax/Nurses/Doctors/Helpers and so on. The inevitable happened and one pour soul died on board. When the Ch/Stwd came up and informed us, the Captain asked me to check what to do in the manual. When I read the procedure, he almost begged the Doc to certify the Pax dead AFTER engines off....it was much easier you see.!!
