Sixmilehighclub, I think you are very wrong and even dangerous. As someone that came to the airlines from a medical background I think that the BA's crews action was quite cynical. Bar few exceptions flight crew are not medically trained. Therefore with the exception of minor superficial injury flight crew are not in a position the make a call on what is a serious injury and what is not. And for your information a break can be life threatening, ever heard of a fatty embolus? Furthermore you or the flight crew did not know what other injuries if any, were sustained in the original incident. This is another examlpe of BA carring on across the Atlantic regardless. In my opinion the company really does have poor SOP's.
