Well Flygor and mainfrog2 get this.We once had a heart attack on board in which we had to administer CPR. It happened during the meal service (could have been the airline food). The crew were very good but as you are both aware it is very tiring continuing CPR for an hour as the captain decided to divert. P.A's were made for a doctor but to now avail. Not even a nurse on board this day. Luckily for us the pax survived (we came to know later). After all the commotion and the flight took off again to reach its destination a call bell went off. This #$@%ing pax proceeded to tell us how he has been pressing his call bell for the past "2 hours" and not a single person has attended to his needs. He needed his whisky glass to be refilled and also had the gall to say "does a person have to have a heart attack to get some service around here". With much constraint I walked away as I so nearly thumped the guy. This is exactly what I am talking about. Is the call bell for emergency or service? I personally feel now as if I am a dog responding to his owners calls every time I hear that "ding, ding".
