IF,There was a physician seated in row 1F why he was not called in? Are rules bigger than the human life?
What could he (or she) have done that the flight attendant/former ER nurse wasn't able to do?

WTF? That has to be the stupidest post I've seen to date.
Why is that so stupid? Common sense would be to use whatever help is available. But, if the FA was an experienced ER nurse, she might well be far more capable and experienced in resuscitation than many Doctors. I used to be a Paramedic, once two Doctors offered their help whilst I was resuscitating someone, one turned out to be an Eye Specialist, the other a Forensic Pathologist, neither as qualified or experienced (in resuscitation) as myself (or any ER Nurse)
