  • Actor Noah Wyle, known for his role as Dr. John Carter in ER, revealed he was on a flight to the UK when a medical emergency occurred.
  • An announcement was made over the tannoy asking if any passengers on board had medical experience to assist.
  • Wyle admitted to feeling "total cowardice" and deliberately tried to avoid being noticed, despite his on-screen medical background.
