Frankly, whether the individual is a superlative doctor, a mediocre doctor, or a circus huckster has very little bearing. If he in fact had no patients to see the following day, it is very likely the information will emerge, but as yet there is no indication of this.
I remain puzzled by this assertion of passengers being selected 'at random', and suggest that the method for such allegedly random selection be explained in detail. 'The computer' is not any kind of explanation: computers do nothing but what they are told to do.
Incidentally, categorisation of a passenger as 'disruptive' is uncontentious if they spontaneously cause trouble during routine operations. But if they are an exemplary passenger until ordered to stand on their head or sing a song or arbitrarily disembark, then I anticipate argument in court as to who in fact initiated the 'disruption', irrespective of the captain's 'absolute discretion'.
