All this happened in a matter of 5 minutes.

So, at no point during any of this entire 5 minute window, did it enter her head to say, "Errm, thanks but no, I don't actually need the wheelchair, you see, I'm not actually incapacitated at all; Save yourself and the cabin crew and flight crew and the dispatch guys and the handling agents and the handlers and the poor sod who has to push me all the way around LAX a whole lot of trouble and use the wheelchair for someone who really needs it"?
