“Is there a doctor or medical professional on board?” Answer that call and you may be treating anaphylaxis in a cramped cabin, mid-turbulence, with no medical history, no weight, no records, and no emergency department nearby. You should be able to assume one thing: that the aircraft’s medical kit holds the right medication, in a usable form, at the right dose. Under a new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposal, that assumption may not hold.
