Why further inconvenience everyone else for this moron, if they (clearly correctly) judged her no longer to be in danger?

  I really hope that doctors don't provide medical advice based on idiocy(or lack of) of ones actions. If she had to undergo emergency surgery in-flight with a coat hanger, I'm really surprised an emergency landing wasn't recommended by the doctor. The origin of her injury should have had zero bearing on it.

    If only we would leave more of these decisions to arm-chair bien-pensants, second guessing two seemingly highly competent medical professionals. I am sure the woman in question would also really have appreciated being settled with the likely ruinous debts resulting from a medically needless emergency landing.

      I'm just saying I'm surprised such a decision was made, that's all.

  Expecting decision making to be perfect after an accident like that is ridiculous. Bike perfectly valid and commonly used word for motorcycle in many parts of the world. The attempt to conceal comment seems to be doctor covering his errors after an inadequate physical exam before take off. Someone trying to conceal wouldn't complain of chest problems before take off. Most airlines would remove you from the plane before even doing an exam, and won't depend on eye doctors potentially flying to do it.
