That's gratitude
Look at what Delta Air Lines sent a doctor who rounded on three patients mid-flight.

Just another example of why I fly Southwest or Jetblue exclusively. The other airlines have long ago forgotten the passenger. The only time I fly the other crappy US airlines is if Jetblue/Southwest doesn't go there. They wonder why they are in/going bankrupt while the above airlines turn a profit. The answer should be obvious.

Hey, this doc shouldn't complain. I had to babysit a guy in full blown tonic-clonic seizures on a domestic flight. I didn't get to sit with my wife read a book or watch the (customarily lousy) movie. I spent the whole time DOCUMENTING the progress of this patient as he came to in the post-ictal state, jotting down a blow by blow on one of the napkins-which I saved for about two year in case I got sued for substandard care. Oh, did I mention the guy puked on me too?

I'm a new intern--my hospital's corporate policy prevents me from accepting any gift that I can not share with the staff--cookies and chocolates apparently. No monetary gifts at all with any entity that has a business relationship with the hospital (patients).

The pilot was a gentleman and came up to me afterwards to personally thank me. The airline itself couldn't be bothered to send me a bag of peanuts.

Oddly, it also prevents me from taking anything from vendors (drug co's) doing business with the hospital worth more than $100, but I can go out to dinner, go to a sports event, as long as its for business and it's not going to change my mind about that vendor.
This is the policy--Delta's lawyers may simply be taking the safest route legally. I think the policy is pretty myopic, though.
