What naval ship sails at 30,000 ft!?
It’s a reference about Ferdinand Demara, a famous con artist who among other things pretended to be a navy surgeon and “served” onboard a destroyer in the Korean war and performed many surgeries. Mixing it in with the classic doctor on a plane trope
Did people survive those “surgeries”? The Wikipedia article didn’t say.
I believe so. Iirc he was quite successful, mostly through delegating to other doctors and intensively studying medical books
So, he’s the target model for “AI” in that field, currently? Yeah, that tracks.
Fun fact: Dr. Halsted, known most for his invention of doctors’ residency program (widely regarded as inhumane, if not outright psychotic) was himself topped up on cocaine & morphine for most of his adult life. 🤔
probably 30,000 ft away from land
Maybe? I’ve only seen “at XX,000 ft” used for elevation here in the US.
30000 ft above the sea floor?
i forgot to edit that part of the post
Where does one find a razor blade on a commercial airplane? Asking for the TSA.
AEDs usually have one in case you’re dealing with a very hair person- so you can get good contact with the pads.
That would usually be kept secured though.
Wait. You’re saying there’re razor blades in each airplane cabins’ AED kit and we’re told to worry about nail files and ounces of water?
Meh. Avoid the corral & chaos, citizens. Take the train. 😝
