I guess the world is full of less than brilliant people... the gate agent included. If you read the OP post she did have a check bag and her hand luggage was small. Why would anyone check a bag with important medication? If a flight attendant can't carry a small bag of medicine they don't need to be looking after the safety of passengers.I hope one day you grow old and need help that nobody will provide to you.

Granny`s thinking is let some GA or FA hurt their back lifting my bag when I wont do it myself??? Good for the GA..
