IST Jan.2020(1)

ここからは2020年の1月、イスタンブールに1週間行ってきた時の旅行記です。マンネリです。

いきなりハンバーガー!
SFO Wendy's の「クロワッサン」サンドイッチなんですが... ごく普通のハンバーガーにしか見えない。

朝ごはんメニューの、ソーセージ・クロワッサン・サンドイッチのセット。
朝だからポテトも違う形状ですが... 普通のが混じってるいい加減さがアメリカン♪
サンドイッチのほうは... 味は悪くないけど、食感があんまりクロワッサンっぽくない。

カロリーたっぷりの朝食を摂取した後、国際線Gゲートへ入りました。
昨年ゲート番号が変わってからは、こうなりました。

G6ゲートの先にある、ユナイテッド・クラブに向かいます...。
このところ、サンフランシスコ国際空港はあちこちで工事してます。
美味しいレストランでも入ってくれれば嬉しいんですが...。

さて、ユナイテッド・クラブの入口。
なぜだか知らないけれど、数ヶ月前の超タコ部屋が解消してきました。
今では Amex のセンチュリオン・ラウンジのほうが悲惨に混雑しているので、こちらがベターです。

入場して階下へ...。
混んではいますが、以前のように席が見つけられないとか、相席になることもありません。

そして男子トイレ。
いつも同じじゃつまんないから、たまには目先の変わったものを紹介します♪ (笑)

ご不自由な方も利用し易い個室。
便所でカメラ使ってると変態だと思われるから、誰もいない時を待ちました。(爆)

いつものようにカプチーノとか淹れて飲んで時間を潰したら、ゲートへ。
この日は G7 ゲート発でした。

機材はB777-300ER。成田へ行くときと同じ機材です。
この時は少しだけワクワク。

初めてユナイテッド航空のプレミアムエコノミー Premium Plus に乗ってみます...。(つづく)

    Continuing story of what to do during inflight medical emergencies…

    Affirmative, it’s true for us health-care doctors have to make themselves known as we took the Hippocratic Oath.

    You comprehend we have specified and knowledgeable professional fields (such as gastroenterology for me).
    As you pointed out, every doctor had acquired the common learning, practical methods and art applied to total particular medical tasks, therefore he/she has a right to treat patients with all kinds of diseases, excluding performing an anesthesia act without the qualification of the anesthesiologist.
    At least for me, I have no belief in myself and in my abilities to commit any medications to the patient with disease out of my specialty, esp. when under hard status.

    On the other hand, he who is under the state of emergency would unwillingly be determined the nature of a problem or an illness through a doctor whose specialty is unknown.

    It must be an everlasting inquiry for both us doctors and you passengers.

    BTW, according to the Wendy’s website, is it Sausage, Egg & Swiss Croissant ?
    They say, “A fresh-cracked grade A egg and grilled sausage covered in creamy swiss cheese sauce on a flaky croissant bun. There’s a lot going on in this simple sandwich and it’s all delicious. 600 cal”

    What an American world ! (lol)

    1. Yamada Denki sensei,

      Ah, an anesthesiology is an exception… I didn’t know that. Thank you for the info, and I now do understand how those anesthesiologist are behaving lone-wolves, somewhat independent from the team of surgeries.
      So, hypothetically, when a passenger claims a severe pain and you expected him as appendicitis with severe peritonitis… CRP may be as high as 30.0 (lol) but you have no tools to measure anything, everything is depends on you, by your exam. Will you ask captain to divert? Or if someone mistook drinking and eating then the food stuck on the airway, it choked him… will you give tracheotomy in the airborne?? You will not be punished but it may be a hard decision…
      On the 2nd case, I have a great idea. Take that passenger to the lavatory and put his mouth to the flushing basin, contact his mouth to the drainage …and flush, Flush, then FLUSH! The power of vacuum sucks everything stuffed on his airway. Ah, I’m such a brilliant passenger! (I was so disgusted writing this sentence… LoL)

      In regards to your question of Croissant Sandwich by Wendy’s, I have no clue. You may be correct, but the actual menu can be vary and especially at the airport, it can be a ‘special’ version, means, some ingredients are missing and made it simple for cover the high cost being a tenant of the busy international airport, or prevent the mistakes by those minimum wedge workers. (sorry… I’m such a racist)
      “A cracked egg” is an egg contaminated by cocaine? Then I’d like to try it! …but it might not an appropriate meal before boarding an aircraft. (lol)
      Btw. Talking about the calories, my glucose measurement this morning (3 hrs ago) was at 104mg/dl. Because yesterday morning, it got quite high at 175mg/dl, I skipped dinner and had small amount of snacks. Now I’m learning how to manage blood sugar, means, how to cheat the mechanical readings in the morning. :P
