Good point - our crew are often quizzed on medical procedures as part of the start of trip brief.
The other side of airlines having this (relatively low level) medical capability is that some of the public can have unrealistic expectations of the same. There needs to be an understanding that whilst the cabin crew are medically trained to deal with problems arising in flight they are not there to facilitate an unofficial casevac...turning up in a wheel chair with a fresh plaster cast due to a fall during a bike ride earlier in the day causes questions to be asked..........
