It's impossible to quantify who needs to be home more than someone else, that's why United did their stupid reverse (although in this guy's case since he'll win a 7 figure settlement, actual) lottery.
I'm sure he didn't make a big show of the fact that he's a doctor, but you can still be entitled in thinking you're more important than other people and someone else should get off instead of you.

So you would also consider the mom entitled, who had to get home to her child? Or is it just the doc who is entitled?
I would guess there were a lot of people on that flight who didn't 'need' to get home that night. United just didn't offer them enough.
