Knowing More

One of our new doctors knows more than everyone. When she first started we all found it annoying. If you were sick she knew the symptoms, the medications to take and the best doctor to consult with. She is always right. So far we have not found a topic that she is not an expert on. Yesterday she surprised us again. My morning receptionist's mother was flying home from Florida. The flight was rerouted from La Guardia to JFK and then delayed on take off. The winds in New York were so strong that few flights were allowed to land at La Guardia. My friend was upset as her mother is 87 years old and had just lost her male companion of ten years. My friend just wanted her mother on the flight and back in New York. As each hour passed the delay was longer. Then Christine, the young doctor, walked in. She overheard the conversation and as usual said she could help. She asked what airline the mother was flying on. We said Jet Blue. She got out her phone and called a friend who is a pilot at Jet Blue. He went on to the internal system and told her that the incoming plane was delayed and would reach the gate at 11:11am. There would be debarking and plane clean up. The food would be restocked and on this flight there was a crew change. The passengers would board at 11:48am and take off would be at 12:19pm. If there was a change he would text Christine again. Things ran just as he said. Again, Christine knows everything. Now we love that quality.
