Seattle doctor helps passengers during medical emergencies on both replacement flights after United denies him boarding

Seattle doctor helps passengers during medical emergencies on both replacement flights after United denies him boarding

What do you all think of this? Surveillance shows this doctor getting to his United gate at ~10:42-10:43 p.m., with boarding supposed to close at 10:45. The flight was scheduled for departure at 11 p.m. He says the agent saw him and shut the door. There’s also a photo of the gate monitor still showing boarding underway.

If you pause the video, there’s a letter from United saying he couldn’t travel because of “operational disruptions beyond [the passenger’s] control.”

The weird part is he then helped with medical emergencies on both replacement flights.

According to the report, he eventually got more than $2,000 in refunds. Curious what people make of the story?
