问题     Usually a physician travels a lot. As a physician, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded "Is there a doctor on board?" announcement. I’ve been【C1】______only once — for a woman who had merely fainted. But the accident made me quite curious about how often this kind of thing happens.

Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty easily, but passengers with heart disease may experience chest pains as result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. Another common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome.【C9】______happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation, flights with at【C10】______one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.
