I can't help but get a "if she didn't want to get raped she shouldn't have been dressed like that" vibe from that article.
I agree that his need to get home and see patients was probably not a life-or-death situation; more likely a self-important exaggeration in an attempt to keep his seat. However, it doesn't change the fact that he was a paying customer with a perfectly reasonable expectation to get home at the promised time (barring act-of-god events), and the practice of overbooking can go fuck itself.
