Again I can recount an experience with Virgin that was completely different regarding sick pax.

My day job is as a paramedic - (I know everyone things it wonderful but really it is crap - but still it paid for my cpl!) About 3 hrs out from LAX the call went out for a doctor/nurse - no response so I offered my services.... obviously can't go into details about the pax but she needed to lay down so pax and me were moved to 1st class

Spent rest of flight being fawned over and generally spoilt! Captain requested my company when it was convient for me (!) and I could have had / done anything I wanted on that flight, unfortunately had to remain with sick pax!

On disembarking in LAX I was presented with a magnum of Champagne as "A Thanks for your help from us", and on returning to the UK found a thank you letter and large hamper of food, etc. awaiting me as a thank you from the company.
