someone else with the same name, not this doctor. Don't be too quick to believe the corporate and corporate media spin machine. And that's' another thing this doctor can sue for, being smeared like that, because it wouldn't have taken too much work at all to determine they had the wrong person before going public with it.

And it doesn't matter anyway, nothing at all justifies that kind of treatment and his subsequent injuries, which include a concussion. He was not a criminal, he was a paying passenger who needed to be back in Louisville by the next morning to see his patients who were depending on him. He couldn't wait the goddamn 24 hours they were demanding he wait and who the hell would want to have to do that, anyway? I sure wouldn't. They should have just gone on to someone else, for Christ's sake. I'd have been very upset too, if confronted like that. People aren't allowed to be human on airplanes anymore, they're expected to happily and peacefully take any shit shoved at them at all or they're in trouble. What bullshit.

United's lack of preparation and planning is not the problem of its paying customers, including this doctor. The plane was not overbooked. They realized too late that they needed to get four employees to Louisville for other flights, and they realized it AFTER the plane was already fully boarded and set to go and not before. First of all, they should have known a lot sooner than that. Second, they could have rented a car to go the 300 miles from Chicago to Louisville. Anything they could have done will now be a helluva lot cheaper than what it's going to cost them, both in lost revenue from disgusted passengers (and they've already lost over a billion dollars this week alone) and what they'll have to rightfully shell out to this doctor. Take your defense of police state tactics and corporate Profit Uber Alles and shove it.
