    Having unlimited PATIENTS is only good for Drs and hospitals (and perhaps not even then!).

    Having lots of patience isn't too bad though.

    Given that Musk has stated that his patients and pockets are not unlimited I guess it depends on the size of the hospital that he is using. But since they are out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean I would guess that they are probably just using someone who went to one of an auxiliary ship's sick bay. Just taint the food or water and he'll be good for another 10 launches.
