It's not up to anyone to be making any suggestions with regard to how the cabin crew / tech crew handled this situation, as they were not onboard at the time.
The crew member took ill too late to offload all the passengers and deal with the situation in the terminal as suggested.
PacificBlue does not have standby crew members to call on in MEL.
Any quotes in the press article/s you must all remember can be taken completely out of context for the sake of sensationalist journalism.
The crew need to be commended for dealing with an adverse situation to a very high standard.
