Hi Lori,
They actually stopped me from boarding, I took another flight a day later.
Yes, very frustrating. As I mentioned, previous flights and since the ‘event’, I haven’t had any issues. Airport security were also at a loss. They told me 1000s of CPAPs go through each week.
This seemed to be a specific issue with the ground-staff at the gate.
What aggravated the situation was that the whole ‘medical’ discussion was carried out at the gate in front of other passengers. At one stage the staff member announced that I should leave the airport and find a registered doctor to fill out appropriate paperwork, which embarrassingly could have been construed as a number of concerns by others.
All in all, a humiliating, frustrating and degrading experience.
Paul
