I dont see why cabin crew should be expected to double-up as medics if they dont want to. I work all day in my job, and if someone collapses I expect one of the volunteer first aid trained work colleagues will be summoned or the situation might need a doctor or ambulance - but not me, because I dont choose to. If a medic is required on board I think a professional one should be employed for the job, not because I'm grumbling about or dont have faith in cc, but they've got their own job to be getting on with. I know its in an isolated location most of the time, but if people can be paid to sit anonymously with the expectation that they might have to shoot someone en-route, well then why not have someone else sitting just as anonymously in the expectation that he might have to save somebody or might the latter be an avoidable expense, as opposed to the former ??? ???
