One thing came immediately to mind was the 'lack of training' (cited elsewhere I need to get the PDF pages ready) about Aviation Medicine - 'causing' the recent rash of PE Physiological Episodes with various aircraft oxygen systems. WTF?!
Physiological Episodes: Understanding the human system [5 page PDF of article attached below]

...“While aviators have been trained in this all along, what we’ve found is that they haven’t been trained extensively enough. We believe educating the pilots and the medical professionals is so significant that we’ve rewritten the entire physiology chapter in CNAF 3710. It is about twice the size of the original, and once published, it will do a great job in educating new aviators and re-educating veteran aviators on exactly what their bodies are experiencing in flight,” Hoffman [Cmdr. Allen “Doc” Hoffman - flight surgeon] said.
Armed with this knowledge, aviators will become more aware of symptoms, correlate those symptoms to what happened in the cockpit and know how to mitigate them, Hoffman said."
