On a flight from Hawaii to San José, California, a woman named Elizabeth Sedway was asked to leave the flight because she admitted to the flight crew that she had blood cancer and she might need some extra time to board cause she gets light headed. After telling them this the consulted a doctor that they had at the terminal and he advised them not to let her board. Since she was not allowed to board she was forced to stay overnight in Hawaii and because of this she missed her chemotherapy she had scheduled for the next day. She was wearing a medical mask in the terminal, but did not have a doctors note.
I believe that what they did to her was unnecessary and unneeded. She posed no real threat to herself or others. She flew to Hawaii so the flight home should not be a problem for her. Due to the incident she missed her chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is very expensive and very necessary for those dealing with cancer so due to the flight company she was unable to make this appointment which could make her symptoms worse. I believe that the company should have let her fly, because she posed no threat to herself or others. Also because that flight home was necessary because she had an appointment the very next day.
