00:00What is your medical knowledge like now? I mean, do you know a lot or are you just...
00:05I know enough to know what I don't know. I...
00:09I mean, if anyone was ever in trouble, could you possibly stitch them up? I don't know. How good
00:18are you? If you were on a plane... I was just on a plane here and there was an announcement
00:24halfway
00:24through the flight midway over the Atlantic. There's a health emergency in the back of the
00:28plane. Is there anybody on board with any medical training? And? I slunk down so low
00:33into my seat. I will confess to total cowardice in that moment. Mostly because as we were boarding,
00:42at least 10 or 12 people saw me as they were boarding and said, I downloaded the pit to
00:47watch on this flight. So I know there were 12 people that thought to themselves, I know
00:53one guy could help. But was there a medical person on the plane?
00:59There were several, thankfully, and they handled the situation beautifully.
01:02The question is, had there not been a medical person on the plane, would you have gone up?
01:09I think air flight attendants receive a basic medical training that's commensurate with my 27
01:16years of television doctoring.
